A Jewish neighbourhood watch group has stepped up its patrols in London in the wake of terrorist attacks in France.
Four hostages and Amedy Coulibaly were killed after he sparked a siege at a kosher supermarket in Paris.
And Jewish neighbourhood watch group Shomrim, which has a total of around 80 volunteers, called for increased vigilance following the attacks.
The organisation's Twitter account said: "Following events in #Paris we will have on extra patrols throughout NW London over Shabbos. We ask the community to remain calm & vigilant.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jewish community in #Paris, the victims and families of victims in today's attacks."
Shomrim London covers areas of the capital with large Jewish populations, including Golders Green, Hendon and Barnet.
Hackney Metropolitan Police's Twitter account, @MPSHackney, was asked why Shomrim was allowed to use cars with markings so similar to police cars.
"We are supportive of work Shomrim do but they don't need us to 'allow' them to mark a car up this way, it's a matter for them," it said.
"Think the word 'Shomrim' in big letters down all sides is fairly unambiguous!"
Asked if other minority groups would be permitted to run their own patrols in similar vehicles, the HackneyMPS account said: "Citizens/communities in London can do whatever they wish as long as within the law - not for police to 'allow' or 'forbid'."
Shomrim refused to comment on the extra patrols, but issued a statement to Sky News saying: "We are not a police force.
"Our unpaid volunteers and unpaid staff are compiled of men and women of the local neighbourhood regardless of their ethnicity or religious affiliation."
