Mayor Marty Walsh addressed crowds about holiday security concerns at an annual toy drive in Dorchester Saturday.

He said there will be increased security near places of worship and also in other crowded areas due to the holidays.

Walsh also spoke briefly about the current political climate, saying what is important is letting people know Boston is a welcoming city to all people.
