The event highlighted the agency's participation in the “30x30 Pledge," an initiative dedicated to increasing the representation of women in law enforcement agencies across the nation to 30% by 2030. Law enforcement has traditionally been an extremely male-dominated field, but research supporting this initiative shows increasing female representation can improve outcomes and the quality of services for the community.
