第3082期:US seeks to hire more female police officers.

The challenge is to treat everyone involved in that call neutrally and not have any predisposed thoughts or…我们面临的挑战是中立地对待电话中的每一个人，并且不要有任何先入为主的想法或……In her film Women In Blue, data official chronicles some of the challenges female police officers face as they help train fellow officers against excessive use of force in the male-dominated Minneapolis police department.在她的电影《蓝衣女性》中，数据官员记录了女警官面临的一些挑战，她们在男性主导的明尼阿波利斯警察局帮助培训同事避免过度使用武力。Officer Alice White is one of the trainers. We interact with people who are rapists, murderers. It's sometimes hard to show respect to someone like that.爱丽丝·怀特警官是训练师之一。 我们和强奸犯、杀人犯打交道。有时候很难对这样的人表示尊重。So in my mind I had to switch this to professionalism. As long as you're being professional, you're gonna look respectful.在我看来，我得把这转变为专业态度。只要保持专业，你就会显得得体。The film echoes findings won as early as the 1970s by the National Police Foundation that female police officers act less aggressively and believe in using less aggression than their male counterparts.这部电影呼应了早在20世纪70年代美国国家警察基金会的研究结果：与男警官相比，女警官的攻击性较低，更少使用武力。I just knew that I wanted to make a film exploring what women could bring in a very troubled time that our country has had with police violence.我只知道我想拍一部电影，探讨在我们国家遭遇警察暴力的艰难时期，女性能够发挥怎样的作用。Hi, do you know why I'm stopping you? You can calm down. I see you're shaking. Just relax, relax, it's all good.你知道我为什么拦下你吗？你可以冷静下来。我看到你在发抖。放轻松，没事的。You can see in that traffic stop that that man that was stopped by Alice had someone who was nurturing and had his well-being at the top and not some law enforcement.你可以从那次交通拦截中看出，被爱丽丝拦下的那名男子，身边有一位关心他、将他安危置于首位的人，而非仅仅是执法者。But the film also shows women remaining sidelined making up only 16 percent of the Minneapolis police department.但电影也显示女性仍处于边缘地位，仅占明尼阿波利斯警察局的16%。The chief has selected no women for his executive team. I have a great deal of respect for chief Rondo.警官没有为他的团队挑选任何女性。我很尊敬隆多队长，But the thing that hurt me the most was the fact that in a profession dominated by male voices, they're losing any female perspective.但最让我痛心的是，在一个由男性主导的行业里，他们正在失去任何女性视角。In Seattle, police chief Carmen Best says her department's recruitment ads are designed to attract more women to the force.在西雅图，警察局长卡门·贝斯特表示，其部门的招聘广告旨在吸引更多女性加入警队。We want to show more women. We want to show women in diverse positions.我们想要展示更多女性。我们想要展示身处不同职位的女性。We want to make sure that it's not always car chases and gunfights and repelling off buildings.我们想确保不总是有汽车追逐、枪战以及从建筑物上速降这些情节。A lot of what we do has nothing to do with brawn, has a lot more to do with brain and skill sets and the ability to empathize and to work with people.我们所做的很多事都与武力无关，而与脑力、技能组合、共情能力以及与人协作的能力密切相关。It's not just that we need more women but we need a lot more women of color.我们不仅需要更多女性，而且需要更多有色人种女性。I think that's where our police departments could potentially transform.我认为这就是我们警察部门可能进行转变的地方。I got assigned to become a sergeant and then fourth president.我被任命为中士，后来成为了第四任主席。Her film shows only a few African-American female officers like Alice White rising through the ranks.她的电影只展现了像爱丽丝·怀特这样少数几位非裔美国女警官逐步晋升的情况。It's important for the black community to see women who look like me in this role.对于黑人社区来说，看到像我这样的女性担任这一角色很重要。Chief Best relates her own experience rising through the ranks.贝斯特警长讲述了她自己逐步晋升的经历。Some folks while super supportive, others were not, maybe you know, and there was always working through that.有些人非常支持她，而有些人则不然，也许总需要去应对这些情况。My resolve was, that's their problem, not mine. I'm here to do my job. I'm going to do it to the best of my ability.我的解决办法是，那是他们的问题，不是我的问题。我来这里是为了完成我的工作。我会尽我所能把工作做好。And I really believe that as you move up, you have to lift up and bring others along with you. 我真的相信，当你不断晋升时，你必须提携他人，带着他们一起前进。
