Women in Law Enforcement

December 16th, 2012

While women make up almost half of the entire United States workforce, they comprise of a much smaller percentage of the police force.

Recent reports indicate that women make up about 13% of the law enforcement workforce. That includes police officers, deputy sheriffs, Federal law enforcement officers, state law enforcement officers and other police agencies.

Most of that hiring is in larger departments. Smaller, suburban departments have few if any female cops.

Once hired, it doesn’t get any easier. Less than 10% of women are in supervising positions like sergeants and lieutenants. And only 7% are in top positions like captain and above.

Still, with the changing demographics of the workforce and the growing number of positions available in law enforcement, women will play a large role in police positions going forward.
