The best way to get more women in the workforce is of course changing the way the culture is built to make sure that there is no one discriminating them once they get to work. It is important that when joining the police force that the agency are able to change the system that will help make sure that the women can do well without worry of being discriminated.

In order for more women to get accepted barriers has to be removed for them in order to come and change the male dominated culture that has existed for so many years. The more women that are in the police force, the more it helps many men get exposure to women in order to help shape the culture.
