“The terrorist attacks in recent years have caused us, the Met Police, to focus activities around those who present the greatest danger to our communities, i.e. radical Muslims. Part of that involves far greater police community engagement between all communities likely to be affected. We have the largest Muslim and Jewish community populations living side by side in the whole UK. We are proud that we, the local communities, have been very effective in preventing racial crimes as a result of terrorism but have actually helped to encourage a whole range of activities involving all our communities to bring them closer and improve understanding of each other’s cultures.”
Grant, who leads faith issues for the MPS said he believed his knowledge of Islam was strong, until he completed Jones Knowledge’s Understanding Islam course.
“I can only say that my knowledge now is far superior to what it was. I found it to be eminently user-friendly, very informative and highly useful to operational police officers. Far, far better than anything I have seen in police circles before.”
