Women in policing

When you think lights and sirens, handcuffs and arrests, most of us picture men in these uniforms. But there’s a changing dynamic in law enforcement sweeping not just the nation but Wichita Police Department…it’s women. They’re stepping up to back the blue and you on the streets while breaking barriers and smashing stereotypes that’ve kept women off the force for years. “I think over the years we’ve proven we’re just as capable, we’re just as necessary for this job.” WPD Community Policing Officer Lori Kimrey and detective Anna Hoyt set the tone when it comes to power women in policing. “We want to help people. That’s why we do our jobs,” detective Hoyt told KAKE News.
