If the police women officers really wear hijab to enter mosque it would be against secularism, that you adore so much.
Anyway I find it as completely stupid idea.
If a police officer enters your house, not in the pursuit of a criminal or for the investigation of a crime, would it not be appropriate for him/her to follow the rules of your house?
We are not speaking of the officer entering in the role of conducting a police matter, we are speaking of them entering to meet the community and listening to the people of the neighborhood.
Simple matter: it is forbidden for a woman to enter a Mosque without wearing a Hijab. Is there any logical reason a police officer should be exempted from doing so? It is forbidden for a person to smoke in many public places. Should a police officer who smokes be permitted to enter those places ? Is there any reason a police officer should be exempted from respecting another's rights? Notice those officers are not being required to wear a hijab all of the time. ONLY, when entering a Mosque in non-Criminal and non-emergency matters.
Or to sum it up in a simple method.
1. A Mosque has the right to exclude anyone from entering the Mosque if they are not showing respect. The exception being emergency personnel in the performance of emergency duties.
2. If a Police woman desires to enter a Mosque for non-Emergency reasons, she is no different from any other woman and must wear a Hijab.
3. The Police departments are issuing the women hijabs so they can enter the Mosque, for non-emergencies if they desire to do so.
