Police officers who identify as gender-fluid have been issued more than one warrant card, allowing their official police identification to reflect whether they are presenting as male or female on a given day.
Leicestershire Police, Norfolk Police and Suffolk Police have all confirmed that they have issued multiple warrant cards to officers to reflect their gender identity.
The practice follows transgender guidance previously circulated within British policing, which stated that officers who “identify as gender-fluid may require two warrant cards to reflect their gender on different days.”
A warrant card is an officer’s official police identification and is used to establish their identity and authority as a police officer.
