Police officers have been banned from asking for people’s Christian names in case they offend those with different religious beliefs. Under strict new ‘diversity guidelines’ officers have also been told to refrain from using phrases such as ‘Evening all,’ ‘my dear’ or ‘love’ for fear it may cause offence. The guidelines, revealed through Freedom of Information laws, warn police not to use slang, to be wary of using a handshake to greet people and to avoid being in the same room as a woman.
