De Blasio promises to beef up NYPD patrols to combat anti-Semitic 'crisis' - New York Post

The city is in the middle of a race-hate “crisis” — and will beef up NYPD patrols of Jewish neighborhoods while introducing anti-bias-crime programs in their public schools, Mayor de Bill Blasio said Sunday.

“Fearing the next act of terror will not become the new normal for our Jewish neighbors,” the mayor said in a statement. “In New York City, diversity is our strength and we respect the traditions of all who call New York City home. Intolerance will never take hold here.”

Hizzoner called a press conference with Police Commissioner Dermot Shea at his side Sunday evening to announce the moves, after at least eight anti-Semitic attacks, mainly in Jewish communities in Brooklyn, since last week and a bloody assault during a Hanukkah service in upstate Monsey on Saturday night.

“We will keep adding as many measures as it takes to end this crisis,” de Blasio told reporters. “An attack on the Jewish community is an attack on us all.”

De Blasio said the city’s Police Department will add four to six cops per tour in each precinct in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Borough Park, Midwood, Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant. Additional NYPD light towers and security cameras will be put in the communities, too, he said.

All city public-school students in the heavily Jewish communities also will “immediately” be enrolled in anti-hate-crime programs when they head back to class again next month after the holiday break, the mayor said.

The city Department of Education “will be implementing hate crime awareness programming next month for middle and high schools in Williamsburg, Crown Heights and Borough Park, including workshops with community partners and leveraging existing social studies curricula and resources,” the mayor said in his statement.

“These curriculum resources will also be available to middle and high schools citywide.”
