Police patrols around Jewish houses of worship, schools and cultural centers in Bel Air and Holmby Hills will increase through the High Holy Days, the Los Angeles Police Department announced.

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins at sundown Friday, Sept. 11. The holiday opens a 10-day period of reflection that ends with Yom Kippur, which begins at sundown Sunday, Sept. 20, and concludes the night of Monday, Sept. 21.

The LAPD said in a statement Wednesday, Sept. 9, that officers will maintain extra patrols and heightened visibility at Jewish gathering places so residents can worship safely, according to MyNewsLA. The department said it is working closely with community leaders and security partners during the observances.

The deployment is citywide. Bel Air and Holmby Hills fall under the LAPD's West Los Angeles Division, as Patch reported. The LAPD's statement did not single out specific neighborhoods or divisions by name.

The department urged the public to stay alert and report suspicious activity or information about potential threats right away.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department issued a separate statement Thursday, Sept. 10, saying it will also increase patrols at religious, educational and cultural sites across the county. The Sheriff's Department said heightened visibility will remain in effect to ensure residents feel secure during the observances.

Beverly Hills runs its own police department and was not mentioned in either agency's announcement.

No specific threats were cited in either statement. Neither agency named a spokesperson or provided details such as the number of additional officers being deployed.
