Hi. My name is Renee. I am 22 and would like to be a police officer but I am worried that I might be treated differently since I am a female. Any advice or words of wisdom????

Treated different by criminals or other officers? I imagine you might be treated differently by both sometimes. But you can't let that bother you. You might have to toughen up!

I've gotten some verbal abuse from some drunks while working, but none of the other officers in my department has treated me badly because I am a female officer Don't worry about

We have female officers working for our small department. They do well, and don't really get treated differently.

I'm a female officer, and I love my job

Thanks! I know I shouldn't worry about it.
