I have added my name to Amendment 438EA on police meetings with religious leaders, representatives of faith communities and so on. This is an interesting conundrum for us in the contemporary period. The police have quite a lot of community engagement with different faith groups—Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Sikh, Hindu. It all sounds fairly benign. They are posited as collaborative partnerships used as an important part of building social cohesion, as Prevent work and as low-level anti-terrorism intelligence gathering.
