""It is clear that we will be in a heightened state of alert for the foreseeable future," said Jessica Tisch, NYPD police commissioner. "These are perilous times, to be sure, and I know you feel the stress and the anxiety in your synagogues and your schools, your community centers, and even in your own homes. I feel it, too.""
""They are not standing by or turning away or thinking someone else can deal with that," said Tisch. "They are standing up for themselves, for their neighbors, and many times for people they have never met. I applaud them and everyone who steps forward and says no more.""
