‘Let’s hope the future is optimistic’ – Police force celebrates incorporation of hijab into uniform

“Inclusion and diversity is a key agenda for the police service. We need to be more representative of the communities we serve, in order for us to be an inclusive workforce and deliver a better service to all of our communities."

Two police constables who designed a new hijab to be part of their uniform have celebrated making it a reality.

Pcs Uzma Amireddy and Arfan Rahouf both tweeted on Monday as Pc Amireddy wore the headscarf during a shift with North Yorkshire Police.

“I was afraid when I started wearing hijab, fearing that this may hinder me in policing especially in proactive roles,” tweeted Pc Amireddy.

“Now finally it is part of a uniform @NYorksPolice let’s hope the future is optimistic in sha Allah”.

“It’s really important for North Yorkshire Police to make sure that the uniform for each and every police officer is fit for purpose,” they said.

Inclusion

“Inclusion and diversity is a key agenda for the police service. We need to be more representative of the communities we serve, in order for us to be an inclusive workforce and deliver a better service to all of our communities.

“Parallel to that, we need to listen to the needs of our existing workforce and ensure there is an avenue by which issues such as this can be raised and resolved.

“Pc Amireddy and Pc Rahouf have worked really hard to drive this positive action and collaborated with colleagues across the force to make this important change happen.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
