MIDTOWN — The NYPD has revised its rules to allow Sikh members of the
department to wear their turbans and have beards up to one half inch
long, Police Commissioner James O'Neill announced on Wednesday.
O'Neill made the announcement after a graduation ceremony at Madison
Square Garden, flanked by officers wearing navy blue turbans with NYPD
badges affixed to them.
The policy change is part of an effort "to continue to make our
department as diverse as possible," O'Neill said. "We're making this
change to make sure that we allow everybody in New York City that wants
to apply and have the opportunity to work for the greatest police
department in the nation."
