You still have time to join an important discussion on Women in Policing and Venue Security on Tuesday, October 8, at 10 am Pacific.
Cities are increasingly recognizing the value of women in nighttime police units and venue security. The traditional image of a “burly bouncer” is being replaced by a new standard that emphasizes excellent communication skills and de-escalation techniques.
