(Washington, D.C.) – The National Park Service (NPS) announced a seven-year initiative to focus efforts on hiring more women in law enforcement positions across the country. The NPS will be joining hundreds of law enforcement agencies in committing to increasing female representation in our law enforcement workforce by signing onto the 30X30 pledge, an initiative to advance the representation and experiences of women in police agencies across the United States.
Last week, the Department of the Interior released a report from the Law Enforcement Task Force recommending improvements to bureau law enforcement organizations. In the report, the Task Force recommends agencies implement programs and initiatives to recruit and retain a diverse workforce.
