America’s biggest police departments have boosted security in their respective Jewish communities, including synagogues, following Hamas militants’ deadly attack on Israel.
The majority of the nation’s 7.5 million Jewish people live in New York, which has a population of 1.9 million, followed by Los Angeles with 617,000, Miami with 525,000 and Chicago with 315,000.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams announced on Saturday that the NYPD would deploy additional resources to protect Jewish communities and houses of worship.
The NYPD is also adjusting its patrol routes to incorporate areas of significance to both Israeli and Palestinian interests.
The department’s Counterterrorism and Intelligence Division remains vigilant and is operating at a heightened level of alertness in response to the attacks in Israel.
