In honor of <a href="https://nationaltoday.com/national-police-woman-day/">National Police Woman Day</a> on September 12th, today is all about women in policing.  Women make up just 12% of the law enforcement officers in the country and 3% of police leadership. In an effort to increase women in policing, the Fort Wayne Police Department has joined the <a href="https://30x30initiative.org/">30x30 initiative</a>. The program aims to have women make up 30 percent of the recruits in police training classes by 2030, but the FWPD has a few ideas of their own when it comes to recruiting women. See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
