A FEMALE POLICE CONSTABLE could face disciplinary charges for refusing to cut her dreadlocks.
Reports reaching the SUNDAY SUN indicate that the constable had been receiving notices about her hairstyle ever since the Royal Barbados Police Force (RBPF) issued a new dress code policy back in January, which, among other things, banned police officers from wearing dreadlocks, twists, beards, make-up, extreme hair colour and visible tattoos.
A source said that for the past 11 months, whenever the constable, who works at a police station in the south, attended roll call, it was recorded in the police diary that her hair was still being worn in dreadlocks.
The source said that about ten other female cops who were wearing similar hairstyles had cut theirs after the new policy came into effect.
