The Fayetteville Police Department realizes the importance of having women in law enforcement. Did you know that women account for a small but growing percentage of police officers (11.6% nationally, up from just 3% in the 1970s)? However, the need to recruit, train and promote more female officers is receiving far more attention than ever before. The Fayetteville Police Department has 18.82% of female officers. The encouraging momentum toward creating a more balanced public safety force is fueled in part by a growing appreciation of certain unique and valuable professional qualities that women often bring to law enforcement. The Fayetteville Police Department is honored to have our women police officers highlighted in the hit television show “Women on Patrol”.
Live PD Presents: "Women on Patrol" shines the flashlight on the brave female officers who have chosen to put themselves in the line of duty.
