Sir Keir said the funding would deliver “a step change in protection and policing so Jewish communities can live and celebrate their faith free from fear”, while Crime and Policing Minister Sarah Jones said the government was “going further and providing record funding to help keep Jewish people in London safe”.
Mark Gardner, chief executive of the Community Security Trust, said the increased policing and government support came “not a moment too soon”.
The package is in addition to the £25m emergency fund announced in April after the Golders Green attack. The fund was described by the Met at the time as “one-off funding” which had retrospectively covered the cost of surging officers into north-west London.
The government also confirmed £32.4m for protective security at Jewish sites in 2026-27, including synagogues, schools and community centres. This figure appears to combine the £28.4m announced for the Jewish Community Protective Security Grant in February with a further £4m allocated in May.
Several other measures cited alongside the policing package had also been previously announced, including £7m to tackle antisemitism in schools and universities, and the expansion of community cohesion programmes.
