Law enforcement officers are required to perform essential job functions regardless of their religious beliefs. This includes working on religious holidays, adhering to uniform appearance policies and ensuring the safety of citizens and groups whose religious and political beliefs may directly contradict their own.

In this webinar we will discuss the balance that law enforcement leaders must strike between reasonable accommodation of officers’ religious beliefs in keeping with statutory requirements while maintaining agency standards of conduct and operational efficiency. This will include guidance on:

• Uniform Appearance Standards
• Shift Work and Holiday Work Requirements
• Freedom of Speech On and Off the Clock
• When Essential Job Functions Conflict with Religious Beliefs
