Jedi faith present in Scottish force
A nationwide review has revealed that the Jedi religion has ten followers within the Strathclyde police force.

Voluntary diversity forms, completed by 55 divisions under Jane's Police Review, showed that officers in and around Glasgow were the only ones in the UK to cite the Star Wars faith as their own.

Review editor Chris Herbert said: "The Force appears to be strong in Strathclyde Police with their Jedi police officers and staff. Far from living a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, some members of the noble Jedi order have now chosen Glasgow and its surrounding streets as their home."

A spokeswoman for Strathclyde Police confirmed to The Daily Telegraph that eight serving officers and two members of civilian staff had recorded Jedi as their religion.
