Police Department Diversity Research Paper

403 Words2 Pages
Increasing a more diverse police department is not easy. The department I work is very diverse. I work in a police department that has a high number of Hispanic officers in Eastern, Washington. So when I see the question of how can we increase diversity of personnel, I cannot help but laugh a little. I would say we are diverse because of our location. I know there are diversity issues in departments all over the United States. So with that in mind, I would say departments could start putting out campaigns, similar to the military, to get minorities and females encouraged to work with their agencies. Also, we are seeing a high number of officers that are starting to retire; it may be time that departments start hiring more diverse personnel.
