Forty years ago it was rare to see a woman in a police uniform. And when you did, chances are she was in a skirt and kept her gun in her purse. Now women comprise 20 percent of all police officers in Canada.
Women in policing have faced challenges along the way, and many have emerged as leaders.
UFV’s School of Criminology and Criminal Justice has seen many of its alumni find success in policing and related careers. Now it has teamed up with the UFV Alumni Association to plan a panel discussion on Women in Policing.
The panel event will run Thurs, Nov 19 from 5:30 to 7 pm in the Great Hall of the Student Union Building on the Abbotsford campus.
