Met allows muslim officers to wear turbans.


Recommended Posts

The Metropolitan Police said serving Muslim officers in London had asked to be allowed to wear their turbans.

A spokesman said: "Whilst many Muslim officers will not necessarily choose to wear the turban there are serving Muslim officers who will benefit from this new policy and have asked for it.

"Authority has now been granted for them to wear their turbans instead of the current headwear."

Sikh officers in the Met have been able to wear turbans while in uniform for many years.

Last year female Muslim officers were told they would be allowed to wear their traditional headscarves, or hijabs, on duty.

Mohammad Mahroof, Secretary General of the Association of Muslim Police, who wears a turban himself, said: "We made representations to the Met and it is to their credit that they have chosen to allow those Muslim officers who wear turbans to retain them whilst in uniform.

"These turbans are a great tradition of our Prophet and striving to adhere to his traditions is an important part of Muslim life."

Met Assistant Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe said he hoped the move would boost ethnic minority recruitment.

"I hope that it encourages more Muslims to consider the police as a career and I also hope that it encourages all minority groups to believe that the Met is an employer of choice."

    • Hi All, I havent been on this forum for a while but I thought id give it a try again as it helped me through some rough times earlier in my life. I wanted to seek for guidance on sikhi and marriage ... I noticed a post earlier on sanjog etc. and it got me thinking about my own life and marriage. For context, I have been married 3 years and things are not working out. When we met, I looked in to sanjog alot and it felt like it was written. However, as these years have gone by its become apparent that we no longer align with each other and our marriage is struggling. We dont seem to understand each other and things have fallen apart. We are at a stage now where separation/divorce is looking like the best option. Neither of us are happy and whilst we have tried to work things through in many different ways, after 3 years we have drifted away. What are the sikh views on this? is it written if we decide that we no longer serve each other? or is that a sin and should I continue to work at it? my issue at the moment is that it is draining me. I feel withdrawn from everything due to things going on between us including sikhi and going to the gurdwara.  Breaks my heart to even be writing this but I do think if we are both not happy and cant see a way of being happy then what is the point in continuing? Or should I be continuing and is it paap if we dont honour our laavan? if that is the case, what does sikhi say about marriage? how do I continue knowing everyday I feel the way I do?   Thanks
