Viking Posted March 9, 2006 Polis in Sweden have been allowed to wear turbans, kippa or any other religious head-gear while on duty. The National Police Board (RPS) reached this decision after deliberations with the Ombudsman for discrimination (DO) and do not wish to exclude certain ethnicities or faiths from the police force. The head-gear has to be "stylish", colour that doesn't clash with the uniform. The head-gear is not allowed to compromise safety, i.e. during demonstrations, helmets will be worn.

ElPunto Posted March 9, 2006 LOL - Sweden is soooooooooooooo ahead of the curve isn't it? In Canada, the Supreme Court just ruled that a teenager can carry a ceremonial dagger to his high school because it's a part of his Sikh religion. Religious head gear of any sort has long been sacrosanct. But the 'liberal' Swedes have apparently just discovered that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
