Transforming Law Enforcement by Changing the Face of Policing

摘要

Recruiting, hiring, retaining, and promoting more women would not only change the face of policing, but it would also transform the ability of law enforcement agencies to rebuild trust within the communities they serve. Nothing is more important to the future of law enforcement than the successful recruitment, retention, and promotion of highly qualified women and underrepresented minorities. The long overdue challenge of hiring more women and members of underrepresented groups is not insurmountable and should be tackled with fervor. Then, and only then, will culture change in policing emerge.
