Women Officers

Women Officers

There was a time when female officers were a rarity among the ranks, but today thousands of women stand on the thin blue line, serving on tactical teams, training other officers, working as detectives, and leading entire departments. But there is still a lot of work to be done to make this male-dominated career more welcoming and inclusive.

The Women Officers topic page provides news and resources for women navigating every step of their law enforcement career. Learn how the 30x30 initiative aims to advance women in policing, what duty gear investments every female officer should make, how LAPD's first female SWAT officer broke the glass ceiling, and more.

For more information on products for female officers, visit the Police1 Female Police Officers product section.
