Nassau County to Increase Police Patrols for High Holy Days
No threats have been made, but the county is stepping up the police presence for safety.
The Nassau County Police Department will increase patrols around temples and synagogues during the upcoming Jewish High Holidays.
“With the recent terror attacks in Manhattan and New Jersey, and unprecedented times around the globe, the Nassau County Police Department has been working tirelessly to stay ahead of any potential threats." said County Executive Ed Mangano. “All religious leaders should know that the Nassau County Police Department has intensified patrols for the High Holidays and will take any and all threats to public safety seriously as nothing is more important than the safety of our residents.”
Police officials report that there has been no specific terrorist or hate crime threat made to Nassau County at the current time. However, residents are reminded that if they “See Something, Say Something” to the Nassau County Police Department.
