Beefeaters are nothing at all to do with meat then. Oh no then they would be cannibals!! No I wouldnt want cannibals in our police force. Well not without mouth guards at least...

Scouse raises a legitimate issue.

So a Muslim woman want to join the force. Should she still be allowed to wear the veil while on duty??

I would like to think if I was ever to join the NZ Police Force that I would be allowed to wear my grass skirt ... or failing that my leprechaun outfit!!!!! Although not sure about the practicality of either .. could be a go though!

Damn straight. They've been serving in armed and police forces for longer than most european cultures have existed, and almost without exception their service has been second to none.

Best of luck to the guy, he's got my respect.

Doesn't concern me at all - if he makes the grade good on him.

I wonder if I'd be allowed to wear a kilt though?

After a bit of deep thought...

It is a commonly known fact that policemen used to keep their sandwiches underneath their helmet.

How is this member of police going to keep his sandwiches under his turban?

What a sikh joke.............

bigger concern to me what a man has inside his head.....
Not what he wears on top of it....

If eating beef makes you a cannibal i'm pretty sure you'd have to be a cow..

They're accepting cattle in the police force?!

What has New Zealand come to..

Can't really se ethe problem (though there's no actual religious reason why he needs to wear a turban specifically). And if there Sikhs in the force , the crims had better watch out. Those guys don't back down from ANYTHING.

I call this the thin end of the wedge what next. Foreign monkeys should not be allowed to cause the traditional police uniform to be changed just to suit their religion.

Someones got to run the Police corner dairy !!!!

Well, some of the parking wardens I have met have been right old cows. I suppose it was a natural career progression
