The creation of a Muslim Liaison Unit will ensure that officers throughout the
District are trained in best serving our Muslim population. This unit would also
facilitate the creation of a strong relationship between MPD officers, our local
mosques, and the Muslim community. Perhaps most importantly, the creation of this
unit would make clear that MPD and our government officials stand against
islamophobia, and on the side of our Muslim residents, workers, and visitors.
Thank you and all MPD police officers for the exemplary service you provide to
residents of the District each and every day. I look forward to learning more from
your office about the Special Liaison Branch, and the next steps we can take to protect
our Muslim residents by creating this important new Special Unit.
