The force said it was necessary so officers and staff could wear protective FFP3 masks.
Police Scotland is planning to introduce a new clean-shaven policy for frontline officers, according to correspondence seen by the BBC.
During the Covid pandemic police officers were fitted with specialist masks designed to protect them from the virus. This includes all local policing frontline officers, roads policing, firearms and public order officers. The Met's policy says "beards and moustaches are allowed, but they mustn't look unkempt. Keep them trimmed and smart".
"There are serious concerns in relation to the proposed implementation of the policy and its proportionality to risk."
