St. Louis County Police said more than 50 members of the Muslim community graduated this week from the course that began in November. St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch and County Executive Charley Dooley attended the ceremony.
Adil Imdad, the outreach and community relations program coordinator for the Islamic Foundation of Greater St. Louis, previously told Patch he felt the course would be an asset to the mosque members and pointed out it was designed to teach area Muslims about the police department and how it conducts investigations.
The course was also an opportunity for mosque members to meet the officers who serve the community and for those officers to meet the mosque members.
Imdad said the opportunity came about last year during Ramadan when St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch reached out to the Muslim community and offered to provide the course.

Dhimmi Police Chief Tim Fithch has allowed the Camels nose under the tent... and paved the way for these Islamist to insinuate Sharia in his community. Look for an increase in "Hate Crimes" and "Islamophobia" in the coming months. It will be based on the same old tactics.... Our Ignoracne, which leads to fear, which leads to hate, which leads to violence.... it will include sensitivity training for Police which inclused cultural customs or SPECIAL TREATMENT of the MUSLIM Community which will ...when you peel back the onion lead to silencing of critics using disturbance laws, reducing the ability of investigators by speech and these CULTURAL diffences like separtion of children... Taboo (convenient) etc.

Soon these men will want to be paid police officers, so that non-muslims do not patrol their "No go zones"

when people start to think "oh, the muslims are just like me, they are good neighbors" then you better worry; muslims will never be like me nor like the west - they started a war in 622AD that is raging today - wake up, study your history, study islam's evil and be prepared to defend freedom over their cultist submission
