California Cities Welcome Sikh Police Officers

The Sikh American Legal Defense Fund today announced that six California police departments have reaffirmed their commitment to equal employment opportunities for Sikhs. Their religiously mandated turbans and uncut hair will not be impediments to their being hired. Last month police chiefs in Yuba City, Sutter County, Richmond, San Pablo, Hercules, and Walnut Creek, California all confirmed that Sikhs are welcome to join their forces.
