The U.K. government announced more than £250 million ($335 million) in funding over three years on Monday to boost policing in Jewish communities, delivering over 500 additional officers across England and Wales to increase security around synagogues, schools and community centers.

The spending includes £86 million for London's Metropolitan Police to recruit around 300 additional officers, more than £22 million for Greater Manchester Police and roughly £43 million distributed across seven other force areas with significant Jewish populations.

Other antisemitic incidents in the run-up to the Golders Green attack included the torching of four Jewish community ambulances in the same London suburb in March, as well as an attack on a synagogue in Heaton Park, Greater Manchester, last October that left two people dead.

Separately, the government allocated £59 million to Counter-Terrorism Police to bolster protective security and counter state threats, and a further £41 million for national policing coordination and antisemitism training for all officers in England and Wales.

In addition, the package continues Project Servator, a police tactic to disrupt crime — including terrorism — by, among other means, deploying specialist and plain-clothes officers trained to identify suspicious behavior. It also includes funding for education, community cohesion and countering extremism to address antisemitism more broadly.

The £250M government investment in policing is exactly what Jewish communities across England and Wales need right now. Hundreds of new officers, antisemitism training and expanded counter-terrorism resources will finally give police the tools to match the scale of a real and growing threat. Jewish communities have been disproportionately targeted for too long, and this funding signals that protecting them is a genuine national priority.

Community Security Trust

Throwing money at policing means nothing when officers already had the legal powers and still walked past Nazi salutes, death chants and arson targeting Jewish sites. At the Nakba 78 march, 529 officers covered antisemitic flashpoints while 3,348 were deployed next door — and Pride showed the same failure with zero resourcing excuse. The problem isn't funding; it's where policing directs its vigilance once the press conference ends.

Throwing money at policing will solve nothing while officers — who already have the necessary legal powers — continue to ignore antisemitic incidents happening before their own eyes. This sorry state of affairs has arisen time and again at numerous anti-Israel, pro-Palestine marches and shows that change can only occur if police are brave enough to tackle the threat head-on.
