It may seem like a small step, but potentially, it could be quite big. I only wish other clerics would follow suit.
It is a small step, because the clerics will not advocate that muslims give information to the police. Instead of stating clearly that it is in the best intrests of islam to coperate with the authoraties in which muslins reside (muslim nation or otherwise), then non-muslims will be suspicious of their motives. I doesnt matter if a person is a pillar of the community, if that person will not pass on information, to non-muslims, because of some greater loyalty to islam, then their loyalties to their parent nations is highly suspect.

My 2 cents worth.
