"The service must put women in a pivotal position during the force merger process. Explains why the glass ceiling for female officers has yet to crack in some areas. The police service is going through a period of great uncertainty and change with the current focus on force restructuring and reform. It is critical that the role of women in the service does not falter during this process due to them not using their influence to maintain the progress in diversity that has been made to date. Diversity is critical to the success of the service. Understanding diversity has a direct impact on the quality of service we provide to the public. It is essential that the service reflects the communities it serves. " [Sub Required]
