Advancing Women in Police Leadership

This episode is a discussion of a report from the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), supported by the Motorola Solutions Foundation, examining the underrepresentation of women in police leadership. It presents research, survey findings from women in policing, and perspectives from police leaders to identify the barriers to advancement for women and propose strategies for increasing gender diversity in law enforcement. The document concludes with ten actionable items police agencies can implement to foster a more inclusive culture and create opportunities for women at all ranks, including leadership.
