Waco Police pledges to increase women officers to 30% by 2030

The Waco Police Department is joining a nationwide effort to try and diversify its police force by recruiting more women.

Recently, the department signed "The 30x30 Pledge," which aims to have women make up 30 percent of its police force by 2030.

So far, there are 37 women in the Waco PD, according to Officer Garen Bynum, the department's spokesperson. He said they make up 15% of its officers, which is 3% more than the national average of female officers (12%).

Still, "to make the 30x30, we still have a lot of work to do," Bynum said.

Before the pledge, the department was already looking into recruiting more women, but the pandemic "really put a damper on our recruiting efforts," he said. But with the state opening back up, "this is the perfect time for us to get behind [30x30] in full force," he noted.

He added that the new female police chief, Sheryl Victorian, was a force in pushing the 30x30 initiative forward and hopes her story will inspire other women in the community.

When there is a serious problem everyone wants a woman “police” officer to show up (and ESPECIALLY a woman “firefighter”), right?

If Waco has preference for veterans in hiring this will be the first thing to be waived.
