SXSW 2023
The Future of Women on America's Front Lines
Description:
Throughout history, women have been warriors. They’ve broken glass ceilings and defended nations on streets and battlefields. Yet, in US law enforcement, women represent roughly 12% of officers and 3% of leadership. This is despite evidence that women are less likely to use excessive force and more likely to improve police-community relations and de-escalate in conflict scenarios than their male peers.
What would federal law enforcement look like with greater gender diversity? Join us for a panel featuring three women changing the face of leadership in federal law enforcement. This panel will explore their experiences in a male-dominated field, the pandemic’s impact on the workforce, and their strategies for getting more women in positions of leadership on our nation’s front lines.
