There have been observant muslim female police officers for over 10 years.
This story doesn't say that those women are police officers, or that observant Muslim women officers exist. It says that the Metropolitan Police approved the hijab 10 years ago.
It also says, "Police Scotland figures showed that there were 127 applications from black, Asian and ethnic minority candidates in 2015-16. That was just 2.6% of the total number applying to work for the force.
In order to reflect the 4% figure across Scottish society, the force said it would need to recruit an additional 650 ethnic minority candidates."
Try again IC.
