The Court of Appeal in Trinidad and Tobago has ruled that a policy restricting police officers from wearing beards, particularly for religious reasons, is unconstitutional. The judgement comes in response to an appeal by Constable Kristian Khan, a Muslim police officer. The court found no public interest to justify a rule forbidding beards, especially for practising Muslims who consider beard-growing as integral to their faith. The ruling has mandated the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) to revise its grooming standards to accommodate religious observances. This decision follows a series of other rulings that have invalidated exclusionary service regulations on constitutional grounds.
