Im thinking about my career and I really dont want to have a boring job. Should i join the police? And i dont mean some office work for police i mean like "street" police. (I know you have to do both at least in my country but i want to spent most time out of office). Are female police officers respected by man? And do you know any female police officer?
I’m leaning toward no. But that’s based on cops here in the states. A lot of times the female coos aren’t capable of doing much so they pull their gun, accidentally end up shooting the suspect. I’ve seen numerous videos here in the states of female cops trying to take down a criminal only to have their asses kicked. I don’t know how bad the crime is where you live. Sure you life weights but it isn’t always about strength. Even than I’ve seen teenage boys destroy women who lift weights for a living. I have a few friends who are cops, they work w a few females. The 4 cops that I know said the women are just a liability, they’re just there to look at according to one of them. I understand you do ju jitsu but as a cop I don’t think it’s a good idea to go down to the ground. Yes it happens but a lot of times these criminals have friends who will jump in. Like in NYC where I believe it was 3-4 illegals kicking the cop while he was down while his partner tried to help. I think if you ask a lot of women if they were getting their ass beat by their man, which men are usually bigger, they’d want males cops showing up not women. You may be an exception. Here in the states a lot of these shit heads don’t care if it’s a man or woman. They carry knives, guns, a lot of them are on drugs so much harder to deal w. Maybe it’s like that where you live too.
Are there programs there where you can go along w the officers in a “ride along?” I know you won’t get the full experience but you’ll get an idea of what it’s like.
It wouldn’t hurt to look. I know they have programs like that here in the states to get an idea of what it’s like.
There a lot of female cops. Plenty are really good at their job.
But the job requires you to confront criminals directly. And what happens when you are dealing with a belligerent 220lb intoxicated athletic man and you are a 120lb woman?
Well you can taser him. That might be or might not work. But what if you or innocent bystanders are being physically attacked? Your only choice is either to use lethal force or get seriously injured/murdered.
Anyway I applaud you for wanting to serve. I truly believe the vast majority of police are very good people, with high morals and trying to protect the community. They are putting themselves in harms way and should just as much respect as active duty military members for it. On top of that they have to male split second decisions. One wrong decision and the whole f*cking liberal mass media will be all over you. In many ways cops have it even harder then the active duty military members given some of the most ridiculous and asinine standards idiots want to hold them to (Joe Biden: “just shoot them in the leg”…. what a utter moron).
I say you should try out for it.
Funny I’m 6ft 185lbs solid and an ex pro fighter and brown belt as well (not kidding).
You can handle yourself against most guys easily. Probably better then a 5’ 8’’ male officer who just got his blue belt and didn’t have tough guy athletic background (wrestling, boxing, football).
But no offense but if you and I went all out I would have an advantage. But most criminals you would interact with won’t be anywhere near the level I’m at. Well trained martial artists usually aren’t active criminals anyway (unless your name is War Machine, Jason Miller or Phil Baroní).
Anyway that’s awesome you want to serve the community. We NEED well trained cops. More importantly cops NEED TO BE RESPECTED.
I agree. I’ve trained on and off for 20 years.
Yes, if they meet the qualifications, though some physical requirements are gender normed to take into account most women's lesser strength and size re. men. LOTS of women are great cops.
If you’re built like this…
Yes, if you’re built like female bodybuilder, Yes. If you had a past of martial arts. Yes. If you had a past of boxing , yes.
If not, then No! I don’t recommend it. Chances are that you’ll be sent to do paperwork at an office or do security patrols. But nothing serious.
Male cops really don’t respect female cops, whatsoever. In fact, they all actually rather F-K you than anything. Chances are you’ll just get sexually harassed repeatedly and continuously.
I was at an all male security job. Trust me, these dudes get barely any female interaction, they’ll all want to F-K you.
And if one of them “lies” that you F-Ked him or someone else. Trust me , it’s all downhill from there.
Sexual Harassment and R—pe, happens in EMS, Security, Police, and Military all the time because these men not only have higher testosterone, but they get barely no female interaction.
Just be careful and know what you’re getting into.
You might actually be attracted to some of them cause they’re built like heroes. But others find out you’re being intimate with the hot ones. They’re gonna want it to. And this would be the older superiors.
@viola_456
If you do choose to smash the hot ones. Make sure it’s always outside of work. Never communicate through text or send photos or videos of yourself.
Only phone calls.
Use a separate phone or burner phone number for communication.
Hide all evidence you’re intimate with them.
Trust me, the older dudes and the bosses will get jealous dare they find out you’re messing with anyone.
When you get in these jobs, lie and say you’re a lesbian, I would even get a buzz cut. Look like a stud. Like a real lesbian.
You have to trick them and lie. Don’t even say that you’re married. Cause they don’t care.
GOOD LUCK 🍀
Well im 5'11 and pretty muscular build for a woman. I have selfdefense course and im brown belt at jiu-jitsu. Would that be enough for a street cop?
YUP! LOL! 😆
You’re good.
Better than every other female at least.
Oh there are better girls than me 😅 but thank you ❤️
I think it will change from place to place for the most part. You could get to a place where everyone is respectful, and you can be in a location where there is an issue.
Same with how interesting the job will be, most of the police job in the end of the day if out or in is to paper work and write down what happen, most likely most of the job will not be so full of action, except maybe if you are really (un) lucky
But if you feel like it, it's a respected job that in many locations is lacking and could help with some good people to handle it if you think you are up to holding up the law and avoiding temptations that may show when given power

Where I live there are both male and female police officers, but most are men and it’s the men that tend to get sent to deal with the more aggressive or violent situations, and the women more often get sent to deal with more ‘routine’ cases, but of course that’s not always the case. Women have every opportunity to join, but it’s just common sense to send the right and appropriate officers to deal with situations they can handle - it’s all dependant on the individual. If you’re genuinely interested in this I would suggest researching what is involved in the role you are applying for, and if you get an interview you can ask all the questions you need - an interview is perceived as them interviewing you, but you are interviewing them too to see if the job role is suitable for you. There’s no harm in trying and if it’s not for you, at least you tried and you can move on to something else without wondering ‘what if’, if that makes sense. Sometimes you have to try different things to learn what you do and don’t enjoy in life, so good luck if you go for this.
As a police officer I know a lot of female officers. Respect is someone cops don’t get a lot of today male or female.
What country are you in?
In the U. S. they are hiring a lot of females because they are looking for the more sensitive less brutal version of cops.
The ladies I work with can handle their own out on the streets… although several of us guys are very protective of them.
As for you… I know you are strong and can handle yourself. It can be a dangerous job but so much is dangerous today…
You should do it. If you do, good luck.
@BadApple69 Do not female cops die in the line of duty at a higher rate than male cops?
While there are no doubt a few ladies who can project authority and strength better than many men.
Does not the fact remain that a lot of bigger and stronger men already predisposed to deify any authority beyond force in the very fact that they have chosen to violate the law are going to have a harder time fearing and respecting the power of a smaller woman than a man?
Does not this simple difference help explain the difference in death rates?
Being more sensitive and less brutal is the responsibility of the goverment policy makers.
Not the cop to ignore the laws they are charged with enforcing. SO i can't help but wonder if the real problem is those incompetent policy makers making far too brutal and insensitive policies then expecting the Police to somehow soften it by non-enforcement in "on the ground" cases.
But that only leads to unequal application of the law, and more problems as people have no idea what really is or is not ok depending upon who shows up to enforce it. Hence why Kids without fathers tend to have such trouble with the rules.
@monorprise yes law makers are making it harder for ANY police officer to do their jobs safely. This DOES make it harder on the women officers especially. I am 6’2” and 220lbs so bad guys think twice. Where my 5’2” female partner is a seemingly easier target.
Back to the law makers….
If you have seen the video from NYC of the 2 officers on the ground being kicked and punched by about 10 illegal immigrants that would never happen 10 years ago. 10 years (even less) ago the cops would have used their PR-24 or their MEB and the illegals would have stopped their attack quickly. In the video the cops were afraid to fight back.
I fortunately don’t work or live in NY. I have the ability to use force to defend myself and / or make an arrest.
To your other point of female cops die at a higher rate Google says the opposite.
“In 2022, significantly more male law enforcement officers died in the line of duty in the United States than did female law enforcement officers. In that year, 204 male law enforcement officers died in the line of duty in the United States.”

Would you physically be capable of manhandling some dude twice your size while on patrol, alone, without having to use deadly force?
Personally, male or female, you need to be physically able to defend yourself without using deadly force. You need to be physically intimidating enough for the “cop killer” to think twice.
I am all for women joining the military. But women must be physically able to carry their fellow soldier to safety. Either that, or have an all female unit.
Something else to consider, military or civilian, if you have children, would they be better off without you, after an unforeseen loss? Kids need their mother.
Ok, just understand this.
They'll be a few occasions where you'll likely be forced to get into a fistfight with men. They'll literally through punches at your face, and potentially break your nose and teeth, or worse. Are you prepared to handle that? You're not a dude, you're a female who'll may have drunk guys throw punches at you in certain situations. Pepper spray or a baton won't help you, if your in arms length of them. They'll just disarm you.
I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just looking out for you. Don't worry what society tells you, in the name of ''equality'', to make themselves feel good. Take it from someone that been in plenty of fights when I was younger, and seen many more. There is a massive difference between a guy and a girl in a fight. I'd rather not see people like you get hurt, because society tells you, ''of course you can, you'll be fine.'' If it's a behind the desk job, and not on the streets, that's different however.
Well i have a selfdefense course, lift weights for more than 3 years and have brown belt in jiu jitsu ( black belt soon). I know situations like that might happen and i know its not a fair fight mostly... But i think im capable of handling most situations and im definetly ready for it.
That's good to hear. Although BJJ is only good for one on one, rather then a group fight. Maybe try out a boxing club as well, and I recommend do plenty if sparring, as there's no substitute for proper sparring.
Absolutely right they should.
From being a little girl I had always wanted to become a policewoman, but due to a medical condition I was unable to join.
However, at that same time they did suggest and advised an alternative in looking at becoming a forensic scientist, which I then went on to study and gained a BSc (1st class honours) in forensic science, and now work as such for the police authority.
@Viola_456
I'm pretty sure that there are an awful lot of studies and courses before you get to wear the uniform.
I do wish you all the luck in the world with your future career. ❤
@Viola_456
You're so very, very welcome indeed sweetheart. ❤
Absolutely not. Same reason they shouldn't be in combat roles in the military.
While their are undoubtedly exceptions most females are not physically or mentally equipped to be cops. I don't know you, so I can't say for you.
In general I'm against it, you look strong but what happens when a guy twice your size punches you? Or if you're chasing an athletic man?
In the military in combat roles almost 100% of the time women are a massive liability physically and mentally. Women have different standards for a reason...
Well Im 5'11, i have a selfdefense course, lift weights for more than 3 years and have brown belt in jiu jitsu ( black belt soon). I think im already capable of handling almost every guy. Ofcourse there are guys that would kill me with bare hands but they Can do that to male police officers too.
Like I said I don't know you, can't speak to you specifically. I meant more in general. I'm not trying to discourage you I'm speaking from my experience in the military
Okay then let's go through it, I have no idea what a self defense course means nor do I think one course of any kind of fighting holds much water. I've been boxing for 7 years, one class is not useful.
Congratulations on your jiu jitsu work, that's especially useful for a cop (far more so than boxing or Muy Thai) but I've been told by several people rolling with women is awkward and that many blue/purples can over power girls somewhat easily. I admit those are anecdotes as I have no personal experience.
Lifting weights is good but I don't know how strong you are or your routines or whether the lifting movements you do translate. When I powerlifted I was very "strong" but not functional, only in specific movements was I strong.
Also how far/fast can you run is very important, more so than lifting. Are you easily emotional? How do you handle pressure?
I'm generalizing because I don't know you, you could be in the very small category of women that would make a good cop but it's definitely a small portion.
My original statement is I don't think women would be cops in general
Im Can stay calm when i have to but i Also know how to use my rage... Selfdefense course IS mainly for woman you learn about week spots on body how to twist someones wrist or even break it if you have strenght for it, maybe its called differently English is not my main language... Its just like one month course so its not extreme advantage but it gave some usefull tricks. And with girls at bjj, what you are saying IS true, but its mostly becouse of girls size and strenght. I would not be considered small even for a guy. And i train mainly with guys (becouse of size), i strugle with guys with purple belts bigger guys might be able to defeat me but blue belts dont stand a chance... I never even tried my hardest against blue belts... And your absolutly right that just small portion of woman are good for that jib. Im trying to figure out if im one of them
Fair enough, like I said I'm not trying to discourage you. I've made my points on the physical and mental demand, at the end of the day you are allowed to be one so it's your choice.
Id say think more if you could see yourself doing it for 20-30 years. Do you like where you live enough to tie your job directly to that community? How's the pay compared to your other options? There's obvious physical dangers and it gets mixed in with a lot of repetitive boring tasks that can easily create complacency. Could you see yourself doing it 7-10 days in a row at times?
These are more important to you specifically since my view point is just my opinion
My best friends girlfriend is in the police.
I think female police officers are integral to the profession, especially now with the amount of charges being brought on men for "assaulting" women, having a woman officer allows female suspects to be searched by someone of their own gender.
Do something that you want to do!
I think generally not. For me it's less about physique than it is about mindset. Most women aren't mentally cut out to be police officers. It's a high stress career field that involves not only interacting with criminals but also being sympathetic to victims and being of service to your community. Of course, there are exceptions and I have seen some good female police officers, but they're pretty rare.
Which is fine. I don't say that as an insult against women. Their mindset is different and is better suited for different roles than men. Feminism in some ways is anti-women because it acts like traditional female roles are somehow a bad thing and says women need to be more masculine to fight the patriarchy or whatever.
But if you think you're called to serve your community being a police officer, go for it. I would say don't expect a whole lot of excitement though. I volunteered as a firefighter for a couple years and it was a lot of boredom and only occasionally some excitement. 😁
Yes, I saw an amazing video where a female cop responded instantly to a guy drawing a gun and faught him off til he was shot. If you've got those guts and strength than yes. If you are frail and weak, I'd pass. The problem is the uniform... there's a lot of poorly trained humans that respond badly to authority.
for the physical part, you are plenty capable. As to whether you have the brain for it, you have to judge and decide. I'd welcome you in USA, we need people like you.
I have to ask the honest question of women wanting to do this job... how does your hormonal fluctation impact your mental capacity? I've seen various women reverse things... consistently... when their hormones are off. When I see something like this, I think it increases risks in these split second decisions. It's all individual. Police don't want to make mistakes when under high stress immediate decisions. Example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXWvS9GYcfA&rco=1
I don't know that they determined why she made the mistake, I'm saying I've seen countless females that would have made such mistakes. I'm not saying males never make the mistake. It's a matter of how ones mind works.
That is more important than physical stature..."coolness... under pressure". Do you have that?
I couldn't do the job in USA. Note the, same race male, arresting officer failed as well.
You may be better off in other countries, USA is bad because of racial /cop agenda promoted that created fear. maybe diff in your country.
My favorite part of watching "Cops" back in early 2k was this hot tough cop chick out of Albuquerque. If you like catcalls, or at least can tolerate them, especially from perps, do it. You'll probably get hit on a lot by the bad guys. But you'll likely get mostly proper treatment by other guys on the force. Military, police and firefighters follow strict adherence to sexual harassment policies.
And you'll likely be trained to not allow touching on you anyway. Can't trust what someone is about to do if they put a hand on you. You always want to be cautious when dealing with suspected bad dudes and bad chicks. One hand on you, one hand in their pocket reaching for a knife, that sort of thing. Laying hands on cops is typically a no-no.
I've dated a few, I've known a great many more. A lot of them aren't respected by men because they are 125lbs with gear and skinnyfat underneath or they're BMI is twice their age and they're winded carrying the two fastfood bags out for lunch. I think you'll do fine though.
Sure, it is, but like you said, you're in a relatively safe place where drunk guys are going to be the biggest problem you routinely face. I've been shot at more times than I can count. It's less stressful after the first time.
I was deployed for 9 years, went over from the army to federal law enforcement. Much calmer now.
Now I have a desk job, and it makes my brain hurt it's so mind-numbingly stupid, but it allows me to be closer to home and spend more time with my rescue kittens, so absolutely worth it.
Yeah I have two of them. Both were abandoned by their moms. One was found under a house coated in her own feces and severely malnourished, the other was abandoned on a farm and raised by as generous mother duck. She learned to quack and waddle so I nicknamed her Little Duck.
My other kitten Mysha is what I thought about when they told me I was dying.
Every time I come home, she runs to greet me at the door, and when she sees my suitcase come out because I'm flying out for work, she'll stand between it and the door and push on it so I don't leave, or run and get her favorite ball and drop it beside me when I'm packing and meow like "I can be fun, don't leave." We'll play tag for hours and she's has a little dance that she does when I'm supposed to chase her if I've been working too long. She is very skilled at catch-the-daddy.
I had a widowmaker heart attack in 2022. 100% blockage. Apparently, it had been going on long enough that my heart was starved of oxygen and a large part of it died. The rest of my heart has to compensate for the motionless tissue which spreads partially into 3 chambers. In the hospital I joked that I hadn't tucked my rescue kitten (I had only one at that point) into bed, or hadn't fed her dinner or something like that, so I needed to get back soon. They said IF I made it through the night it might be possible to see her again, and if the next 48 hours looked like I wasn't going to be able to ever leave, they'd let her be sneaked in so I could say goodbye. That was when I realized how serious this was. Not that there's a non-serious heart attack... but you know...
I went into vtach and skipped beats more time than I can count. It was the most taxing (physically) 48 hours I've ever had. I lost over 10lbs that week.
When one of the cardiac critical care center nurses held my hand and prepared to shock me, which they told me they were trying to avoid as much as possible since there'd been so much trauma already, but one particular instance was looking pretty bad. She whispered in my ear as she dropped my bed to shock me. She said "think of what matters the most and fight for it like you've never fought before." I've been fighting all my life. I know how to do that. I remember watching my EKG machine flatline and her silencing the local alarms, which usually resolved itself in a second or two... this felt like forever. They told me later it was 8-12 seconds. I could hear her messing with the equipment with her other hand that I wasn't holding onto. I couldn't move and didn't have the energy to talk, but I thought about my kitten and put all of my effort into squeezing her hand to let her know I was still fighting. She didn't shock me.
I came to later and she was standing there. Could have been 5 seconds later, could have been the next day. I have no idea. She said despite the fact that the damage indicators on my lab tests were the highest anybody in the hospital had ever seen that didn't include an autopsy report, she'd bet the other nurses that I'd eventually leave upright. I was glad I hadn't let her down. She said I didn't have to tell her, but she was curious what it was I was fighting for. I told her about Mysha. She said she sounded like a really special little kitty. I was going to tell her that she has no idea how right she is, but I was exhausted and passed out again. It was the last time I ever saw that nurse.
A few weeks later when I entered cardiac rehab they told me the long term goal was to walk 10 feet unassisted and not pass out, because my heart was having problems getting enough oxygen to my brain. I told them that was a bullshite goal because I've got a little girl that likes to play catch the daddy, and chase me daddy, and that's going to need to be more than 10 feet and faster than walking, so how long before i was jogging again. They said I had to accept that I may never be able to do that again. I set the distance and speed records on the stress tests they do there over the course of the next 22 week. I went twice a week.
I used to do charity 5ks with my ex a couple times a year. I always thought they were fun, especially trail runs, and I'd always do mine with my body armor or a weighted rucksack before all this. I was on the rower on day and I asked the APRN at cardiac rehab, since I had 18 weeks in, how long before I could do another 5k, even if it's just walking and even if it's with no weight. She stopped the rower and sat down beside me and said I had to accept there's a possibility that the answer might be never. I told her that since she's an ultra-triathlon coach, my goal was to be training with her one day. She paused and said of all her past patients, she thought I had the best chance of that being true. Her name is Adrienne, and while everybody there was amazing, she really helped me on my journey. Physically and psychologically.
I completed 67 races last year, including a 10 miler, 3 half marathons and a full marathon, with 32-36lbs on my back. Over the next 10 weeks I have 9 half marathons, a full marathon (Boston Tough Ruck), five 10k, two 5ks and a 4-mile. Now I typically carry 42-44lbs. Mysha and I still play catch the daddy or catch me daddy every day, and while I don't get any medals for that one, it's still my "best cardio."
Assuming you're still reading my ramblings, and who can blame you if you're not... ;)
I say to say if you wanna be a cop. Be a cop. F what anybody else says about it. You'd be a great cop, and I'd be proud to say you're carrying a badge with me. There's a thousand reasons why people will say you shouldn't, but there's one reason why you should do it that matters more than any of them. You want to, and you can, and you'd be damned good at it... you just have to fight for it. I personally want to hear when they hand you your shield and say welcome to the force.
Honestly no. Generally speaking women are not big enough or strong enough to be able to protect themselves when having to deal with violent felons. Might not seem fair but it is the same issue for women fire fighters. Both police and firefighters had to reduce their physical requirements so women could pass the physical requirement exam. Which when it comes to protecting or saving people certain standards should be met not altered to be "inclusive"
On an average scale you are at least on par ish with the average man. So maybe. You likely don't have muscle mass of the average man and jiu jitsu is great for grappling not sure how well it fairs for self defense like karate, akido, tai chi, etc but in theory you should be alright if you want to go into that field. You might consider requesting to try and mens physical exam after training. That would be your ultimate sign that you would be definitely ready.
I've seen mens requirements and im sure i Can do them 😅 not sure if i Can request for that though... Well jiu jitsu in my opinion is absolutly best for 1 on 1. If the other person IS not trained he just dont stand a chance. But if there's more people its not so usefull... I want to switch to kick boxing after i achieve black Belt at bjj
I say no, not because women are incapable of the job, but because they were not made to be as physically strong, which puts them in danger when dealing with strong male criminals. I also believe it also reverses the fact that a man's nature as seen in fatherhood is to protect (e. g. police), and the woman's as seen in motherhood is to nurture (e. g. nursing). Once again, this does not mean some women would not make good cops as there are great male nurses, but one job is more fitted to one sex than the other.
I don't know any female police, but I do have a female pen pal who is in the Israeli Army. She never chose to, but forced to because she lives there!
If you have something you believe in, then you have as much right as men to do the job, but it is undoubtedly more dangerous for a woman as there are some HUGELY sick men out there that you may or may not have to deal with!
That won't make myself a better citizen.
Police people to me: are people I stay away from. They are "the System".
I was in contact with one police woman - she did not impress me as a person.
Alternative non-boring jobs are there in plenty.
It strangles my individuality by demanding to follow rules that I didn't subscribe to :)
That's -in some way- my goal.
I just can't find a cave yet, that's unclaimed.
America has a lot of female cops, and usually they won't be put on the front lines and for good reasons.. Everytime they come into cont with some kind of danger, they'll pull first and slightly panic.. That is unless you're well trained in fighting and those types of situations which not even many of the male cops are..
That would definitely be a good deal more than even a lot of men have, plus you're built too.. I don't know the requirements for your country though..
I'm sure you'll do fine, if it's anything like U S police you probably won't be going through any trouble.. But, in case you do, just be careful not to overestimate yourself..
m Yes go for it, in most countries it’s a fairly varied role, with police, traffic police, detectives, air service, mounted, firearms specialists etc.
I've dated a couple of police women before, they both really like their jobs, yes it’s hard work.
I think they should but they should never be on patrol by themselves due to how strong and dangerous many criminals are. A lot of folks will act up if the cops are short, women, or skinny. I know when a cop is taller or has large muscles, the perps tend to be a lot more cooperative
If you’re strong and able to get someone to the ground, you’d have the advantage but you can’t predict strength especially if adrenaline is involved.
That’s one of the big risks. The uncertainty
I had a close friend in Germany who was, and she was so good at police work that she made rank quickly. I saw her in action a few times- she was very good at defusing some situations that could have spun out of control.
In countries like Poland or the Czech Republic, it's quite an easy job... we don't have terrorists, not many immigrants... mostly soccer fans, drunkards, and domestic abuse...
If it's something you find interesting, go for it.
I think in Europe, we already have this level where women are generally respected. So I wouldn't worry too much about it. Some of your colleagues in the police can have different opinions, but there you will have to earn their respect...
it will be alright, you will see
I would think if a drunk tries to sexually assault you as a police officer he's got bigger issues than public intoxication to worry about
you won't be alone, on the streets you work in pairs
I would say that if you really want to be a police officer then go for it. Just really do some soul searching first and think about why you wanna be a cop. Is it for the money? Is it for prestige? Are you doing it to serve your community? Just questions like that. Because if your mainly doing it for money then I would say their are plenty of other careers out there that are less stressful and less dangerous and won't burn you out as quick.
Are not women challenged and killed at a higher rate then men, and as such a police officer who is suppose to show authority and deal with people already pre-dispose to challenge the same a dangerous job?
I don't think law enforcement is a good occupation for women simply because soo many bigger and stronger men have such a hard time respecting the authority of smaller women. Forcing said women more often into confrontations in which someone could get hurt.
Well Im 5'11, i have a selfdefense course, lift weights for more than 3 years and have brown belt in jiu jitsu ( black belt soon). I think im already capable of handling almost every guy. Ofcourse there are guys that would kill me with bare hands but they Can do that to male police officers too.

The question is not can you win a fight, I would hope they would train you well enough as to guarantee that. But rather the question is can you as easily convince the criminal who doesn't know anything about you, and can only see that your a attractive woman not try and to start one.
This is what we really pay our police to do, to be public security guards to look scary enough that nobody wants to mess with them.
@viola_456 With all due respect to your no doubt admirable abilities. A security guard does not get to choose their opponents, but rather their opponents get to choose if they will challenge them.
As such it is a red herring to say it depends upon the individual as you will get all individuals.
Likewise we cannot control the biases and ordinance of said individuals, but rather deal with them as they are. Which based upon the people police are most likely to encounter is only going to get less favorable.
The only question is relative odds of you being forced into a confrontation in which your risk injury vs making someone decide not to risk it. It is in this respect that you effectiveness as a security guard/police officer is in question.
Not your real ability to win such a fight but the ratio of people's believe in the same. For that alone will decide if they roll the dice or submit, and thus how often that goes poorly for someone.
@viola_456
Glad we agree, this is the reason for my answer that women as a group in general are not well suited for the police or even armed forces to a lesser degree. Just as men tend to be poorly suited to being models and caregivers.
For the police the ability to inspire respect is one of the main assets an officer has. For their job is to provide security by deterring and dealing with law breaking.
Police is a very toxic environment where they train you to be overly paranoid and make you think every person in the world is out to kill you. So unless you have a lot of anger and insecurity issues and want to physically assault old ladies and other defenseless people and want to be one of the most rightfully hated brainwashed guard dogs of corrupt oligarchs then i would advise looking for another carrier.
but that might only apply to the US and other westernized countries but in certain socialist and left leaning countries police are just part of the community and do social work and are loved by all.
but considering your built physique in that picture attempting to convey power and authority and intimidation i am 99% sure you are asking to join the police in merica! lmfao 😂
Police respect people where in Czech republic? because i guarantee you that the police in merica do not respect people there at all! lol www.youtube.com/watch
Oh trust me also anywhere else in the world! lol the US is the worst
My mom was a LEO for 25 years. Although she wasn’t a street cop, it’s still a tough job. “Office” cops still deal with inmates. My mother was spit on, cussed at, etc all the time. She’d find inmates who’d commit suicide in their cells from time to time, too. It’s not a comfy office job by any means. Anyway, to circle back to your question, if you’re prepared for the danger and sexism that comes with the job, go for it! 😊
It depends where you are and what your allowed to do. Criminals aren’t staying in jail anymore so the job is going to be increasingly dangerous. defund the Police and the increase in crime with criminals constantly being released. It’s not looking good. For example the cops kicked in the face multiple times by illegal immigrants in ny were let out after there mug shot. Even while the whole thing was aired nationally. It’s fucked.
I don't think it's a good idea for women to be street patrol cops as the average women isn't physically strong enough to deal with the average men physical strength in case of a physical struggle.
Most cops in particular in America patrol by themselves so it's dangerous for a woman to be by herself being a cop.
If she can have a partner then fine but not by herself.
Well Im 5'11, i have a selfdefense course, lift weights for more than 3 years and have brown belt in jiu jitsu ( black belt soon). I think im already capable of handling almost every guy. Ofcourse there are guys that would kill me with bare hands but they Can do that to male police officers too.
You can. It depends. Is that you in the picture? It definitely helps if you're on the taller heavier and stronger side just in case you have to deal with aggressive people but if you train hard there's no reason why you can't do it :)
I don't know anything about your country but here in the USA it would be a bad idea. A person would think that a woman can better handle emotional situations but that if far from the truth. These are criminals and they don't care who you are or your sex except maybe to rape. They do not respond to kindness. They will just take advantage and you will die sooner.
Joining the police opens doors for detective and even after a certain age the FBI and such if you wanted. I've always been surrounded by law enforcement people. From friends parents, neighbors and some. I know a lot of female officers.
Of course they can join as a man I love seeing female police officers. I think they can make the world a safer place 😊 and I am sure you will have a great female police officer, if you choose to be one. In addition you know it is international women's day today so Happy international women's day to you 🎂🎆🎉
Absolutely — strong women in uniform? Total vibe. 🔥 You’d bring brains, guts, and grace to the force — and yeah, respect is earned by how you hold your ground, not your gender. Plus, nobody looks better handing out justice… or tickets. 😉
I don't know, I saw a video of a pair of police women shoot 2 mags each into a house they thought was being broken into that apparently it was just a friend of the owner of the house that the owner gave permission to break a window to get in 💀
Well I don't deny that cause most people that join the police are cowards, it's why they hide behind badges, don't get me wrong I've seen good cops tho, I haven't yet seen one of those being a woman but I'm sure they exist too
They are cowards, it's why they hide behind the badge, they feel powerful and safe with their backup, I've seen many scenarios before where the cops are cowards by themselves, my comment isn't stupid, it's an opinion from my observations, no need to get offended, relax.
There's coward criminals as Well, for example gangsters/gang members, it's the same thing, they hide in groups and feel more powerful but have no form of intelligence so they normally get themselves killed or locked up, there's a saying tho that cowards are the most dangerous because they won't think to act, it's why you see so much abuse in the line of duty within the authorities, the only difference from them and the cowards on the streets is that cops hide behind that hero mask wearing their badge, not all of them of course, but they exist.
No the cops thst aren't cowards aren't cowards, that would be the ones that have proper control and have good reaction when it comes to action and abide the laws they enforce, my response to your question was I don't know, meaning that if I gave you my actual opinion, I'd get crucified.
I don't believe women should join the police force, I believe it's too dangerous for them, I'm not saying women can't be good police cause there's women that even make good soldiers but I don't believe that just cause they can that they should, that's what men are for, if there's going to be death in combat, it should be men, society has really weakened to let women die in combat, again, I'm not saying they can't, I'm saying they shouldn't, considering a man can breed with several women (not saying that they should) but just them being able to while it takes a woman 9 months to being a child to the world it only shows that comparing them both into society, men are far more expendable, I guess there's a reason why in the dark ages it was mostly the men stabbing and slashing each other in combat.
Are you physically fit? Even though physical confrontation isn't frequent like on the TV cop shows, you still should be able to take care of yourself.
When I was in jail the only two guards who were actually helpful were the only two female guards. The men tried to do the minimum and would say whatever would get you to leave them alone when you needed something.
There should be a depends option! 😅 there needs to be a height requirement for an active officer male or female of 5'8. I've seen too many videos of groups of female officers dancing together when they all look 5'2! I'm sorry but even without training, as a 5'10 woman I could punt them like a child. We need officers who command respect and intimidate, so that their authority is valued.
you don't have to take a super dangerous job if all you wanted was "not a boring job". by the way: how much paperwork do you figure a cop has to do? cause that's pretty boring and I don't know if you're aware of that part of the job.
I mean obviously what is "exciting" is up to you. But I would say a less risky job where you also get in contact with crime and personal issues is social work. You get to see all the exciting shit but you're usually not the person that a gun is pointed at.
Social work :) you are the supporter of the criminals on their way to a better life. And you're not responsible for their punishment or their crimes. So you really get the best of both worlds without the danger.
Yes you should go for it. In America there are a lot of women on the police force. I give them a lot of respect for doing such a dangerous job.
Certainly why not! Even if they were not out on the street beating heads with thugs, there is hundreds of admin jobs available.
They are out there every single day!
I'm sure they're respected by man. Just don't expect the man you're about to arrest is going to respect you. He's not going to respect your male colleagues, he won't go easy on you either.
Definitely, it's a position for both men and women. Yes men on average are stronger.. but the most effective submission moves required little strength and more IQ.
And what makes the best police officer is IQ, intelligence and the ability to calculate situations efficiently.
If I did something like that I'd want to join the FBI or the CIA, something high-level like that. There's a documentary about the Enron case and there's one FBI woman who is very cool.
That's cool then, although in Prague they have those secret police all over the place. Good luck.
It depends on salary, social security, and health insurance.
For my part, I will not do that because I do not want to die at the hands of a drunkard or a criminal or drug dealer
Because your healthy and your arms they can't stop bolt
Honestly most girl police cops you see a fucking bad ass
imagine you get to give guys head as punishment
interrogations
Go for it girl, lots of female police 👮 in the United States 🇺🇸 but maybe more women police officers where you live.
u Just don’t use this job to live out any weird domination kinks! 🧐
Why not?
I have a friend that was a chip for 20 years. That California Highway Patrol.
One of the most physically beautiful women I ever knew.
A sister of a best friend. Smart and gorgeous.
I don't know why girl cops personally. One of my best friends was a cop in couple different places and the job is totally different depending on where you work.
I meant to say I don't know any girl cops personally. I used to talk to one at work regularly. It doesn't matter really about if you're a girl or guy, what really matters is situational awareness. Not putting yourself in a situation you are unable to handle alone. That's what keeps you alive. Not being a coward also helps.
Only if they can meet the male physical standards and if they can then go for it.
I work for the police I'd say 1/4 to 1/3 of the officers are female. And yes they are respected by the male officers.
No for the most part they are not respected by the public. Ya our service has been on a crusade the last few years to hire more females and visible minorities in general.
The officers don't mind not being respected, they've got the training to deal with it. Some people do try to get violent, but again they have mental and physical training to deal with it.
I'm sure you can. It can be a very rewarding career.
Yeah you could. But it isn't the best pay and you could get shot, so up to you.

have you seen the video of the all female argentinian swat team on the zipline? That vid alone tells a big NO
it was Chilean, sry my bad https://youtu.be/gY29a01NQdM?si=pHM3cWKA2AILq6-e
still female biology won't allow them to get as fit as guys
nah talking about police/military, its not a match
yea I agree, outside of police/military (especially in the US) you find more "unfit" men than women
Just watch police activity. My brother is a cop. Nom women are not cut out for it amd 9.8 out of 10 get themselves killed, kill an innocent person, or get a real cop killed.
In your country it should be fine, but I wouldn't recommend it in the USA.
Respect isn't an entitlement. It's earn and men respect women who respect themselves. We care less for accupation, how much she makes or how much she lifts. 😂
Sure but not when it comes to chasing down and detaining/arresting criminals. We’ve all seen video of how that goes when a woman attempts it 🤣
Try firefighting, it's more physically demanding and you could probably handle it.
As long as she can meet ALL of the sma requirements men have to meet without lowering standards for them.. Yes, if not then no. Same with military, and fire department.
Lowered standards equals lost lives..
As long as you can do the job and pass the physical requirements I don't see why not.
I know a few female officers and none of them are built like you. I think you’d do a great job and be a great representation.
I have seen some in good shape but not really strong looking and some who are in not so good of shape. I won’t lie the ones who aren’t in good shape I don’t have much faith in to do a good job but the other ones do just fine. It’s just about getting the proper training but like I said I would definitely respect you in that uniform.
