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.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
