Is there more Police presence or just coincidence?

I had a few errands to run yesterday. I came across 6 cop suv vehicles along my route. I'll sometimes see 1 or 2 when driving. Yesterday it seemed more noticeable to me. When I got home (Toms River) there was one parked across my corner.
I'm wondering if this is just coincidental or did they up the police presence around town?

They ramped up police presence. There was a notice sent out a few days ago.

I noticed a cop sitting in the parking lot of a mosque 😢. Protecting the Muslims who hate us.

Or maybe to prevent them from doing anything to us.

Who said they are "protecting the most que?"
I don't think so. I am actually happy to hear that there is a cop there. I mean we know Hshm is protecting no matter what..however, I think they are there to make sure they don't go marching out from there with guns and who knows what else. It all starts with gatherings .no?
Hatzlocha!!

From https://www.nj.com/bergen/2023......html
(emphasis mine)

State Attorney General Matthew Platkin said Saturday that New Jersey law enforcement would boost patrols at synagogues, mosques, and other sensitive areas after the attacks and urged residents to be extra vigilant.
