Anti-Semitic Flyers - Community Advisory

On December 2, 2012, the Takoma Park Police Department received a call for anti-Semitic flyers that had been found by a citizen and collected from driveways in the 7400 block of Flower Avenue. Officers canvassed the area, but did not find any other flyers.

Anti-Semitism is a form of hatred, mistrust and contempt for Jewish people based on stereotypes and myths and often invokes the belief that Jewish people have extraordinary influence with which they conspire to harm or control society.

We will continue to monitor this situation and will keep the community updated as we learn more information. Any resident with more information is asked to contact the Takoma Park Police Department at 301-270-1100.
