March is Women’s History Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the countless contributions women have made to our communities and professions across the country.
Women have been part of the American policing profession since the 1800s, breaking barriers through resilience, dedication, and service. Their impact continues today as they lead, mentor, and serve in every area of law enforcement — from patrol and investigations to command staff and specialized units. For the first time in our department’s history, we currently have five female Police Officers, a milestone that reflects progress and the strength of those who continue to pave the way. At the Washington Police Department, our female staff is making a bit of history themselves. For the first time in our department, five of our eight female employees are commissioned officers!
We are proud to recognize all of the outstanding women who serve our community every day. Please join us in thanking these dedicated professionals for their service, leadership, and commitment to serving the citizens of Washington.
