A leading provider of quality interactive online education, Jones Knowledge Group(R) (JKG(R)) today announced it has signed a deal to bring its new Understanding Islam: An Introduction to police officers in the Metropolitan Police (MPS) Territorial Police Command in London.
The 100% online course is designed for corporations, school districts,
governmental organizations, including law enforcement agencies, and other
learners who would benefit from understanding the historical context of
Islam, the complexities of the culture, and gain the tools necessary to
improve their relations with Muslims worldwide. Understanding Islam is the
first in the Jones Cultural Diversity Series of online courses designed to
bring enlightenment, respect and tolerance for a variety of world cultures.
Chief Superintendent Dave Grant, who has the lead for faith issues for
the MPS, praised the course for its depth of knowledge about Islam and will
be seeking it to be core training for MPS officers.
