It recognises and respects the cultural and religious practices of our communities.
“This is a very positive addition to the Avon and Somerset uniform and one which I’m sure will be a welcome item for many of our officers.”
Rashad Azami, an Imam and director of the Bath Islamic Society, said: “This will go a long way in encouraging a trustful relationship between the police and the Muslim community.
“The police have been working closely with the Muslim community in the area on many levels for the last few years. We have found their cooperation very helpful.”
The £13 head coverings have been issued to women officers who work closely with Muslim groups in Bristol, Bath and surrounding areas.
But the force said they can also be used in other religious settings as a mark of respect, for instance to cover the shoulders of a plain-clothes female officer in a church
