For the first time ever, a police station was inaugurated Tuesday in the Orthodox Jewish city of Beitar Illit, about 10 kilometers (six miles) south of Jerusalem in the Judean mountains.

Established in 1985 in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc, the city is home to some 80,000 residents, about 15 percent of whom are English speakers.
