WOMEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT
All I can ask any commander is this: “When was the last time you had ‘fun’ at work? When was the last time you heard your battle cry?”
If you get hurt at work and have to go to the ER, do you really want the trauma nurses talking about your tattered underwear?
There are good reasons why women and men should be trained differently in firearms
With three generations of women firmly established in policing, women mentoring other women should be a given
We police officers generally have to work out on our own time, and I see that as being just one more hour added to our shift
Time to validate the standards for job performance, rather than fixed ideas of ‘fitness’
