Courtesy: (Anthony Behar/Sipa USA) New York, NY (77WABC) — In the wake of the recent anti-semitic hate crimes against Jewish people, Governor Andrew Cuomo has directed New York State Police to increase patrols at synagogues, schools and other Jewish community facilities in the downstate region. Hate has no place in our state. I am directing the @nyspolice to increase patrols at synagogues, schools & other Jewish community facilities following a spike of violent attacks. We will do all we can to help ensure Jewish New Yorkers—and New Yorkers of all faiths—are safe. You can expect to see heavy New York State Police presence at Jewish educational and religious facilities in New York City, Westchester, Long Island, Rockland, and Orange counties.
