Abstract
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has led a progressive effort to work more collaboratively with Muslim communities for several years, and has experienced many notable successes. A description of these efforts, however, cannot begin without first reviewing the Los Angeles Police Department’s “Muslim mapping” initiative, a derogatory label for an honest attempt to increase understanding, which presented LAPD leaders with an early challenge in their innovative drive to extend community policing to the counterterrorism arena.
