"Too many MPs have had to cope with physical threats and sadly we've seen several of my colleagues losing their lives.
"It's difficult to take it in your stride but it is a fundamental part of our democracy that members of Parliament are accessible to our constituents and I wouldn't want that to change.
He added: "Unfortunately, that goes with risks these days.
"I personally like some of my other colleagues wear stab vests to do public events and sadly that is par for the course these days and shouldn't be."
Former MP David Amess was stabbed to death during his constituency surgery in 2021.
During the trial of Amess' murdered, terrorist Ali Harbi Ali, it emerged that Freer's office had also been scoped out by the killer.
Speaking to Sky, Freer added: "There have been some low-level stuff but also some quite more serious attacks on me and my office."
The MP said "all reasonable steps" have been taken to ensure that he and his staff are safe.
Speaking about the fire at Freer's office, which took place on Christmas Eve, a Met Police spokesperson said: "The cause of the fire is under investigation as it is believed it may have been started deliberately.
