The Met’s commitment to Jewish Londoners

Following Thursday's devastating attack in Manchester and ahead of the anniversary of the October 7th terror attack, the Met is committed to ensuring the safety of London’s Jewish communities - listening, learning and acting to build trust.

Yesterday, Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley wrote in The Jewish Chronicle about how hate has no place in London.

"It is utterly unacceptable that Jewish communities in London should live in fear. Whether walking to synagogue, attending school, or simply going about daily life, no one should feel unsafe because of their faith or identity. As Commissioner, I want to say this clearly and directly: we see you, we hear you, and we stand with you.”

Support and reporting a hate crime

While there is nothing to suggest an increased threat to London, you may have noticed that we have deployed additional resources to the areas around synagogues, other Jewish community venues and in those boroughs with significant Jewish populations.

If you have witnessed or been the victim of a hate crime you are encouraged to call 101 or make a report online. In an emergency always call 999. 

There are also independent charities and organisations who can offer support following a hate crime, including CATCH and Community Security Trust.
