When I decided to pursue a career in law enforcement, I was eager and committed to making a positive impact as a female police officer. At the time, there was a noticeable lack of representation for people who looked like me in terms of gender and race. Training tailored to the needs of female officers was also limited. Moreover, mentorship was not prioritized for the few women in leadership roles, and succession planning was almost non-existent.
Although there have been some cultural changes, there is still a significant need to support the development of women in law enforcement and provide a platform to celebrate their successes. Identifying best practices for career advancement from women who have experienced it firsthand is crucial. Most importantly, guiding women who reach leadership positions, or as I like to put it, "get a seat at the table," is essential.
We all share this vision, and that's why creating this conference was so important.
