British Sikhs On Police Force Want Bulletproof Turbans

BBC News reported last Friday that in Britain, the newly-formed British Sikh Police Association is pressing for more research to develop a bullet-proof turban. Currently Sikhs on the police force cannot serve as firearms officers because regulations would require them to wear a helmet which does not fit over a turban. Research is underway to find bulletproof material that could be used to make turbans.
