London: We've got a Black Police Association, a Gay Police Association, a Muslim Police Association and now - stop tittering at the back - a Pagan Police Association.
The Home Office has agreed to the establishment of a support group for officers who practise Paganism and witchcraft. Druids and Wicca worshippers will also be welcome to join.
A spokesman said: "The government wants a police service that reflects the diverse communities it serves. It is down to individual forces to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate the religion or beliefs of individual officers."
Superintendent Simon Hawkins of Hertfordshire, said: "While balancing operational needs, the force's religion and beliefs policy gives all staff the choice of re-allocating the traditional Christian bank holiday festivals to suit their personal faith."
