Muslim Community Patrols Are Driving Through New York Neighborhoods

“Dressed like police officers and driving cars identical to police squad cars”

They are stopping to harass people for things like “drinking alcohol, claiming this is a Muslim area and alcohol is not permitted”

“Even other Muslims have raised questions about the need for the patrols, with residents expressing fears this is just another form of Sharia law enforcement area.”

The Muslim Community Patrol & Services (MCPS) operates volunteer patrols in Brooklyn, New York, using NYPD-like Ford Taurus vehicles with red and white lights to deter crime around mosques and schools. Established in 2018 to address anti-Muslim crimes
