(ENP) at the University for Police Villingen-Schwenningen (Hochschule für Polizei
Villingen-Schwenningen)

The European Network of Policewomen has been promoting diversity and professionalism
in the police for the past twenty years. In every national police force, greater diversity
means better quality. Exchanging views and approaches helps to foster creativity
and prevent tunnel vision. The initial aim and strategy of this network is to promote
and empower women and at the same time to stimulate the European police organisations
to recruit, retain and to offer women the necessary career development so
that the number of women in senior management/decision making positions will increase.
Many women still find it difficult to profile their talents and to recognise and
create opportunities for themselves. The ENP is trying to address this problem and
offers Career Development Seminars for policewomen aspiring to positions in middle
management. 2
