The DCSO has pledged to increase recruitment, retention and the promotion of women in policing. The 30×30 Initiative is a coalition of police leaders, researchers, and professional organizations who have joined together to advance the representation and experiences of women in all ranks of policing across the United States. Our ultimate goal is to increase the representation of women in police recruit classes to at least 30% by 2030, and to ensure police policies and culture intentionally support the success of qualified women officers throughout their careers. With our already 22% sworn women officers, we have no doubt that we will supersede our goal. Join our team to make this happen and help us properly represent the community we serve! 30×30 Initiative: https://30x30initiative.org/about-30x30/.
