The NYPD is drastically beefing up patrols around Jewish institutions across the five boroughs over the next day in response to the ongoing war in Iran, officials said Monday. The extra security will last at least the next 24 hours through the end of the Jewish holiday Purim and also follows the deadly mass shooting in Austin that investigators are probing as a terror-related attack. “And we made the decision to not only increase agency coordination in light of what’s been happening, but also to increase patrols of sensitive locations and all of this is out of abundance of caution, but we want to make sure we’re taking every measure we can to not just keep New Yorkers safe, but to also reassure them,” Mamdani said.
