Vancouver police boost presence at protests, schools for Oct. 7 anniversary

VANCOUVER — Police in Vancouver say more officers will be deployed at what they call “strategic locations” including faith-based schools and places of worship leading up to Monday’s one-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas on Israel.
Vancouver Police Chief Const. Adam Palmer says planned and unplanned protests across the city are posing a “significant” risk of disorder, and officers trained specifically for large-scale events will be deployed.
