The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has reassured communities across the capital that increased security measures will continue to be in place to protect places of worship following the impact of the terrorist attacks committed by Hamas in Israel.
City Hall’s resilience team and the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) are continuing to work closely with London’s communities, and the Metropolitan Police has stepped up patrols to provide reassurance and deter hateful acts. This includes a rolling programme of security visits to all London Synagogues.
As part of ongoing work from City Hall to support faith leaders, the Mayor has also announced a new Community Resilience Champions programme, which is being run in partnership with London Boroughs Faiths Network, to provide more practical support for faith leaders on how to keep their places of worship safe for staff, visitors and communities.
