A SENIOR Muslim scholar will visit a police station this week.

Mufti Shams-Ul-Huda Khan Misbahi will talk to officers in Dewsbury on Thursday as part of an Islamic awareness programme.

He said: “As a Muslim scholar, I felt an exceptional honour when I was invited to make my humble contribution to the training. This is about building bridges and breaking down stereotypes.”

Chief Supt John Robins added: “I am very pleased that the Mufti Sahib has agreed to attend the station to see how we operate and also to discuss how we can strengthen community cohesion.”
