Religious freedom or officer safety? That’s the question at the heart of a dispute between the Bay Area’s Muslim community and the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.
CAIR is also upset because it points out a similar incident occurred at Elmwood two years ago and the county and sheriff’s department promised to institute policy changes and training then.
“I would hope there’s some sort of reform, some sort of training, you know?” said Aden. “So that this never ever occurs to a woman again.” The department also said it did update policies in 2021 to accommodate religious headwear and that generally, those garments must be searched to ensure safety.
