New York City Mayor Eric Adams told reporters Thursday that police would do extra patrols in some city neighborhoods and send additional resources to schools and houses of worship. Kathy Hochul stressed that law enforcement wasn't aware of any credible threats against the state or the city. The Secure Community Network, which advises U.S. Jewish institutions on security, has encouraged Jewish communities to be vigilant and bolster their security efforts. Michael Masters, the group’s CEO, warned against letting “fear or clickbait threats cause chaos” in Jewish communities because he said that is part of the objective of those spreading hateful rhetoric online. ____ Associated Press reporters Jake Offenhartz, Deepti Hajela and Karen Matthews in New York City contributed.
