Fatwa #239726 February 2001United Kingdom

I am considering joining the police force in England. Is this allowed in Islam?

Answer

By joining the police force of a Kuffaar state, you will be actively
assisting them in enforcing many injust laws.

It is thus, not permissible for a Muslim to serve in the police force of
England.
