Why Are There So Few Women In Law Enforcement

Men are definitely the majority in police departments and but that isn't because women can't do it.  Women just aren't seeking  law enforcement careers as often as men. What's up with that?  In this episode, Michele talks to three of San Bernardino PD's Lady Cops, Officers Vanessa Ruiz, Alexandra Redman, and Sergeant Herlinda Rodriguez, about some of the reasons why so few women choose careers in law enforcement. They explain the things they considered as they started their careers, the reasons they decided to become officers, and tell the truth about some of the myths that stop women from becoming officers.
