British Police Recognize Pagan Officers Association

According to yesterday's London Times, Britain's Home Office has formally recognized the Pagan Police Association as a "diversity staff support organization." This means that Pagan police officers will be allowed to take off Pagan holidays as part of their annual leave. However the Home Office refused the Association's request for funding. Leave for Pagan officers on Samhain (Halloween) may create problems since traditionally police leaves are cancelled on that day because of the high incidence of vandalism.
