Like the previous witnesses, I would be in favour of enhanced security measures where they're warranted. Where threats are severe, provide personal protective security measures such as police escorts, temporary relocation or surveillance systems. Not to be overly calculated about it, but for me it's a two-for-one. First, you get to save people's lives. You get to protect people when they are at their most vulnerable. For me, that is just the right thing to do as a matter of moral obligation, to say nothing of a legal one.
There's also a second benefit. By virtue of doing that and behaving that way, you're showing that you are a trusted institution that can be counted upon to do the right thing. Part of the solution to this goes to trusted, effective, deep and meaningful relationships in those communities. If people feel like they're on their own at the worst possible moment, when they're the most vulnerable, that doesn't inspire a whole lot of trust. If you're able to show that during severe times of strain, stress and danger you're able to provide personal protection and security measures, then I think that will help you in those communities as well.
For me, then, there are actually two benefits.
