This year's High Holidays Security Briefing, held last Tuesday, September 12, put the Jewish community at ease, citing no known threats, allowing the city's Jewish community to pray calmly and celebrate with family joyously. The gathering of 400 community leaders and police officers was held at One Police Plaza, the department's headquarters. Police Commissioner Edward Caban focused his thoughts on public safety and the strong relationship between the department he commands and the Jewish community.
