Met forms team after attacks on Jewish community

The Metropolitan Police is launching a 100-officer Community Protection Team to safeguard London's Jewish communities, responding to a sharp rise in antisemitic hate crimes—including arson attacks on Jewish sites and a terror-linked stabbing in Golders Green—with 140 offences recorded in April 2026, the highest monthly total since updated hate crime recording began in March 2024. Around 50 people have been arrested and eight charged in recent weeks, and the team, supported by £18m from a government funding package, could serve as a model for protecting other communities facing hate crime spikes.
