This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like to happen. We're not sure exactly what you mean by a higher security infrastructure or exactly where this would be implemented.

You could start a new petition calling on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action, for example to increase police funding or to fund increased security in schools, if those are things you want to happen.
