“Four years ago, an amicus brief was filed to the Third Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals on behalf of myself, then-Salt Lake City Chief of Police Chris Burbank, and 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care in support of the appellants in Hassan v. City of New York. I’m pleased that there has been a settlement in this case, including the development of new policies and training materials for the NYPD Intelligence Bureau with input from the Muslim community. As we noted in the brief, our Muslim neighbors are indispensable partners with law enforcement. We are the safest big city in America, and we will be even safer and more just working in partnership.”
