{UAH} Police Scotland formally approves Muslim hijab

Finally Police Scotland formally approves Muslim hijab as uniform option Chief constable Phil Gormley said the move is aimed at ensuring the force represents the communities it serves.
Police Scotland has formally included the Muslim headscarf or hijab as part of its uniform in a bid to encourage more women from the community to join the police force. The decision, announced on Tuesday (23 August), comes almost a decade after the London Metropolitan Police approved the hijab as part of its official dress code.

The Scottish police force said the move was aimed at ensuring the service represents the communities it serves. However, the move is in stark contrast to the ban imposed in several French towns on the Islamic swimwear burkini that has led to a new controversy.
