Amsterdam removes visible security measures around Jewish institutions

NL Times  

Amsterdam is removing the visible security around Jewish institutions in the city, Ronny Naftaniel of the Central Jewish Consultation confirmed to NOS after a report in De Telegraaf. The Jewish organizations in the city received a letter from the municipality stating that the Koninklijke Marechaussee, a policing force that works as part of the Dutch military, will protect the buildings differently from this week.

But according to the municipality, the technological security of the buildings has improved so much over the past years that it is no longer necessary to put Marechaussee officers at the door.
