Women Police Officers

Alice Stebbins Wells was the first female police officer hired by the Los Angeles Police Department in 1910 (Walker & Katz, 2005). In the early days of female police officers, women were employed to protect young social workers, waiters, dispatchers, and female prisoners. In recent years, law enforcement agencies are increasingly popular as women as women, but the number has not increased so much. In 2001, only 12.7% of the positions of law enforcement agencies sworn in large-scale institutions (including more than 100 swearers) were women, 4% higher than women's 1990, It was a high point.

As a result of detailed investigation over 20 years, female police officers are using police force with low dependence on physical strength, and communication skills that can reduce potential violence are increasing. As a result, female police officers are less likely to be involved in police brutality, and there is a high possibility that they will effectively respond to police calls for violence against women.

However, many major female police officers do not agree. Mr. Deborah Friedl has worked for Lowell police in Massachusetts for 30 years and is now the deputy director of the police station and is the first woman to take charge of this position. For at least 10 years, an international female police officer, including her and the National Female Police Station, conducts research to show that decreasing violence against women, sexual assault, rape and murder are hiring more female police officers I have been advancing.

For many years, the role of the police was severe and aggressive. It is now known that this policing style is obsolete. In a survey conducted by the Feminist Majority Foundation and the National Women and Police Center they found that the Los Angeles Police Department paid for sexual assault, excessive force use and domestic violence between 1990 and 1999 . $ 63.4 million. . Due to overuse of forced lawsuits by female police officers, only 2.8 million dollars were paid. In the meantime, the police station in Los Angeles has not filed a lawsuit for sexual assault by female staff or domestic violence. In the brutal case of the police, male staff are paying an average of 2.5 to 5.5 times the average female staff.
