Questions for Senior Women Police Officers 1. Why do you think it is important to have women active in policing? What specific contribution do you think women bring to policing? 2. What do you think are the reasons why representation of women in the police is so low? 3. Based on your experiences in the police, do you think there are particular barriers that women in policing face? If so, what are they? 4. Do you think there is a male culture in the police service? 5. Are there aspects of the recruitment and induction process which act as barriers to women? If so, what are they and how might they be addressed? How might more women be encouraged to join the police? 6. To what extent is sexual harassment in the workplace a problem? Are policies effectively implemented or complaints adequately addressed? If not how might this be improved? 7. In your experience, are police human resources policies and facilities suitable for women, in relation to – for example – pregnancy and maternity leave, uniforms, daycare, flexible working, separate space for women and so on? 8. Do you think there are particular kinds of duties or deployments that are not suited to women or should women be allowed to serve right across the police force? What are the obstacles to this? 9. We are going to try to gather figures to ascertain the levels of retention of women in policing, particularly between entrance to training and graduation – do you think this is a problem, and if so – why? Is retention a problem at any other points (e.g. after childbirth)? What do you think could be done about it? 10. Why do you think representation of women at senior levels in the police is lower?
