A new law passed by the New York City Council will be used to challenge the New York Police Department’s policy banning Sikh police officers from wearing their turbans and beards while in uniform. At the present, the NYPD enforces a rigid dress code that requires, among many standards, all officers to be clean-shaven and wearing a hat. Two Sikh American NPYD traffic officers had won the right to wear turbans on the job in 2004, but have since left the force, allowing the NYPD to revert to its previous stance.
