Forces That Have Refused
Not all forces have followed. Norfolk Constabulary explicitly stated it would not require officers to declare Freemason membership and had no plans to add it to its disclosable association policy. West Midlands Police confirmed in a 2023 FOI response that officers were not required to declare Freemason membership, and Essex Police gave a similar answer in 2016.
So the answer is: yes, multiple chief constables and bodies have done this — Orde at the PSNI was the most thorough and earliest, the 1996 ACPO decision set a national (if soft) standard, the Home Office made it a formal obligation from 1999, and the Met's 2025 policy is the most recent and legally contested instance.

We Dutch are in same position as Germany. For decades paying billions to the EU. In the meantime the EU destroyed our energy, our industry, our farmers, censors us, floods us with unwanted criminal migrants. The whole EU is a globalist scam. It must be destroyed!
