"We have had many more patrols in and around our Jewish community, going right back to 7 October," Chief Constable Watson said.
"We have stepped up our levels of engagement, our proactive approaches to protecting our Jewish community from threats.
"Some of that manifested in the three charges, but we are also working with things like the Community Safety Trust."
On Tuesday, Walid Saadaoui, 36, and Amar Hussein, 50, appeared in court charged with the preparation of terrorist acts between 13 December 2023 and 9 May 2024.
