**LAPD Increases Patrols Around Synagogues Starting Rosh Hashanah During the Holy Days**
The High Holy Days in the Jewish calendar begin with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and continue through Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, which ends at nightfall on October 2.
In response to the significance of this period, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has increased patrols around synagogues to ensure community safety during the Holy Days.
Separately, on April 24, 2024, LAPD surrounded students protesting in support of Palestinians at an encampment in the University of Southern California’s Alumni Park, located in Los Angeles, California.
