=History= The "National Police Ethnic Advisory Bureau" conducted a nationwide survey in Australia and identified questions "operational" police had regarding religious determined behaviors and their impact on policing (see 1st ed. forward) approximately in CE2000. By 2002, the Bureau had been renamed the Australasian Police Multicultural Advisory Bureau and this publication entered its second edition. A third edition is under development.
=Content= Over 83 pages the religious implications for police, emergency services personnel and the Australian legal system are reviewed, with introductory and overview sections focusing on matters where religious individuals relate to matters of policing and the Australian legal system. In the 2nd edition specifically covered are:
*Forward
*Then per religion are a series of sections:
**Introduction
**Overview of the Faith
**Death and Related Issues
**Gender Roles and Family
**Physical Contact and Sensitivities
**Religious Practices and Policing

=Forward= The first Edition of 'A Practical Reference to Religious Diversity for Operational Police' was produced in response to a growing trend within Australian Police Services to deliver culturally appropriate, customer orientated services to all Australians. It is also the culmination of effort and partnership between police and religious leaders across Australia.
