City steps up efforts to stop anti-Semitic crimes
BY MARK HALLUM
With the New York City area still rattled by
the latest anti-Semitic crime — a machete
attack on a rabbi’s home in upstate Monsey
Saturday night — Mayor Bill de Blasio outlined an
enhanced plan Sunday to combat hate crimes in the
fi ve boroughs.
The de Blasio administration will be increasing
NYPD presence in communities across the city with
large Jewish populations by using the department’s
Counterterrorism Task Force as prevention.
“This is something that may not have seemed necessary
a few years ago but it sure has become necessary
recently,” de Blasio said. “Today I announce
additional NYPD presence… Any hate crime tries to
take us backwards, we will not go backwards.”
There will also be additional curriculum in schools
that will teach students about hate crimes as a means
of prevention.
NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said the suspect
in the Monsey attack traveled by car through the
32nd Precinct in Harlem where his license plate was
fl agged; he was arrested by two offi cers.
Shea reported that several NYPD squad cars arrived
at the intersection where the suspect was apprehended
at gunpoint. The whole encounter lasted
15 seconds, he said.
“It’s a little surreal to be standing here… Days after
Jersey City and here we are again having a conversation
about hate and intolerance,” Shea said. “Speaking
about it after the fact, what we need is to speak
about it before it takes place.”
Light towers, cameras and more NYPD personnel
will be part of the increase in coverage. The public
Commissioner Dermot Shea talks about the arrest of suspect in stabbing in Monsey, NY, considered
a hate crime.
school component of the plan will come in January,
de Blasio said, and there would be specifi c schools
where the program would start.

Bail reform will not have an effect on how cases
are prosecuted, Shea said; it only effects how accused
individuals are held based on their circumstances.
