Scottish police offer hijab option for Muslim officers
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleScotland’s police force is introducing the option of wearing a hijab with the uniform, as part of a push to recruit more Muslim officers.
“I am delighted to make this announcement and welcome the support from both the Muslim community, and the wider community, as well as police officers and staff,” says Scotland’s Chief Constable Phil Gormley.
“I hope that this addition to our uniform options will contribute to making our staff mix more diverse and adds to the life skills, experiences, and personal qualities that our officers and staff bring to policing the communities of Scotland.”
