US police dept relaxes dress rules for Sikh cop
The Modesto police department in California, United States, allowed a freshly-inducted Sikh police officer to serve with a beard and turban despite normal rules allowing only a moustache for officers. Varinder Khun Khun, 28, is the department's first Sikh officer. "I told him that it didn't matter, that we would make accommodations for his religious beliefs," the Police Chief said.
