If the Columbus Police Division doesn’t change its policy banning head scarves for female Muslim officers, Ismahan Isse might have a couple of options outside Ohio.
The Edmonton Police Service in Alberta, Canada, has reached out to Isse, the 29-year-old Somali-American who said she dropped out of the Columbus police academy this year because she was prohibited from wearing her head scarf, or hijab.
The Dispatch wrote about Isse last week, and Staff Sgt. Mark Farnell, an Edmonton police recruiter, read about her dilemma online.
He said Edmonton police designed a uniform for Muslim women that includes the head scarf.
Edmonton has a growing Somali community and is looking to update its police force to better reflect the city’s diversity, Farnell said. It currently has no Somali police officers.

Edmonton is four hours from me, I don’t want this, but I can see how the communist NDP party is making gains there.
Since I was posted there in 08, the moslem population has grown exponentially. I left in 2012 and never looked back.

That doesn’t look like one of the approved “Muslim Head Bags” that the Muslim females are required to wear.

What’s the problem - as long as they don’t prevent her from wearing her exploding vest.

I guess the Nazis got the last laugh. Obviously they have unleashed some sort of secret weapon on us that has made us incredibly stupid.

It’s not just us, the whole world has gone goofy.

She wasn’t born with it attached to head so God must approve of it not being worn.

Edmonton AB is not really part of Alberta or Canada. It is a separate city/state somewhat like the Vatican, or Dearborn MI.
