あらすじ・解説
The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department celebrated the women who helped build their department on Saturday, while recruiting the next generation.
Less than 200 IMPD officers are women, making up only 14% of its force. The department hopes to see both numbers skyrocket in coming years.
The event brought the hopefuls behind the badge with information on the department’s training process, the officers’ personal stories and what it takes to be in law enforcement today. The event also featured an optional fitness test.
The event was part of the nationwide 30×30 Initiative. IMPD is joining to help increase the number of women in police recruiting classes to 30% by 2030.
It comes as IMPD has seen decreasing recruiting class sizes in recent years.
As of March 1, the department had 1,440 sworn officers. That’s 300 short of its target staffing.
