It concerns me that this woman wears a hijab on duty. Not only is she not conforming to the uniform, and how many non-muslims get away with that, but this item could, surely, be used harmfully towards her. Policemen wear clip-on ties so that they can't be used to throttle them and a headscarf could make a very good noose. Respect for Faiths is all very good but it's becoming farcical. If you join the British police, nominally a secular organisation, you should be required to accept and conform to all the aspects of being a British police officer.
