Well if that's the case this is backward.
Even more so than forbidding gay officers to go to pride parades. One would think the various police forces would want people to see them as being inclusive.
Perhaps this should go to the courts; no employer should be able to dictate what an employee may/may not do while they're not being paid.

they had a Gay police officers association when I was working for them, though I just googled they'd disbanded years ago
maybe why they're not kicking up a fuss. The Met black police officers association were pretty bolshie. a lot of our vids ended up looking like an episode of Shaft so we couldn't be accused of underrepresenting them

No, employers absolutely can, and indeed do, dictate what employees may/may not do in their own time.

Only if it brings your employer into disrepute
so I guess the officers can go on a jolly to another city and get their kit off THERE, just not in the same area they work in.
Maybe the police could do a jolly exchange scheme?
