Anti-terrorism - we are constantly questioning policing tactics and policies on the usage of the anti-terrorism legislations to gain clarifications on:

  • Intelligence being opened up to selected independent community people who can provide oversight and advice on such materials before any operations are mounted.

  • The police working systematically to redress the sense of injustice felt by those who have been traumatised by anti-terror raids and are released without charge. Maximum effort should be exerted to explain to those involved and their family what had happened and why.

  • The need for the police to be more informative in their communications with the community and its partners and proactively seek to dispel misinformation and misreporting by anyone regarding the matter.

  • Police Training which should look at more direct input for counter-terrorists /specialist officers and the general police force from the Muslim Community and its key partners. This training needs to be available at recruitment stage as well as during their time in service.
