September 12 is National Police Woman's Day - a day to celebrate and acknowledge the women who serve with the Darien Police Department and other police departments across the country. The United States swore in its first female police officer in 1908, and today, women represent about 12% of law enforcement officers in the country. Agencies, like the
Bureau of Justice Assistance, are working to increase that number to 30% by 2030. Thank you to all the women who have and will continue to serve our community and country!
