Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) commissioners unanimously passed an initiative May 25 that aims to better support women in the police force.
“The goal of the 30x30 initiative is to increase the representation of women in policing recruit classes by 30 percent by 2030,” Commander Ruby Flores said during the meeting. “The initiative goal is not only just to increase the number of women in policing, but the pledge also aims to ensure that police policies and culture intentionally support the success of qualified workers in their career.”
