Excerpt:
Staffordshire Police has become the latest force to consider letting officers on the beat wear a burka.
The force declared that to date no staff have made a request to wear the Islamic clothing.
But Detective Chief Constable Nick Baker said if any member did ask to where a burka it would have to be considered in line with force policies.
It comes after West Midlands Police's chief constable David Thompson opened the door to the move.
