Black and Brown female officers are an underrepresented sub-group of the law-enforcement profession. And the bulk of information on women in policing has focused on the growth of women in law enforcement, barriers, sexual harassment, gender differences, why women are deterred from law enforcement, physical limitations, and instruments used during the recruitment process, and the stress endured after entry into the profession.

This workshop will examine the importance of the advancement and empowerment of women leadership in policing, by considering Black female officers’ concerns, values, and experiences in the profession of law enforcement, thereby helping to shape policy, procedures, and recruitment tactics aimed at the retention and success of Black female law-enforcement officers.
