The Paris Police Prefecture Massacre was a murder of four people by a knife attack perpetrated on Oct. 3, 2019, by an IT worker employed at a high-security police station located on the Île de la Cité. This location was not far from the [[Notre Dame de Paris]] cathedral in [[Paris]].

The attack illustrated the infiltration of French law enforcement by [[Islam]]ic extremists. As reported by French news:<ref>https://www.france24.com/en/20191010-france-bans-protest-questioning-motive-of-paris-police-killer-1</ref>
{{cquote|The assailant, Mickael Harpon, converted to Islam about 10 years ago and, according to investigators, had adopted increasingly radical beliefs and been in contact with a radical Salafist [[imam]].}}
The [[conservative]] [[France|French]] newspaper ''[[Le Figaro]]'' explained:
{{cquote|If we didn’t see this coming, it’s because we didn’t want to. And if we didn’t want to, it’s because we in France are in denial about Islamic extremism. It’s a malady, a deliberate blindness that we can overcome only by admitting it.}}
