Personally if entering a religious builiding of another faith then I would respect their dress code and customs. However uniformed police are there in an official capacity and in my view the people in the mosques should respect that and afford them every assistance, as they should get where ever they go. I fail to see how wearing a headsacarf should affect the way they are treated by religious groups.
Another point is this is sexist, enforcing this for women not for men, it's pretty widely known that in islam women are afforded different right to men, wouldn't this been seen as discrimination against women?
My final point is that this probably has been introduced by some white racial equalities commisar working for the police, the equivalent of which nearly cost my dad his job in the Fire Brigade.
