Celebrating the contributions of our female police officers this #NationalPoliceWomanDay.
In August of 1955 the City of Oklahoma City - Government commissioned six women as the first female police officers in Oklahoma. From over 200 applicants, Lois Faye Moore, Mildred Louise Jones, Iona Fae Chapman, Edna Jean Linn, Ina Mae "Tiny" Miller and Jean Latham were hired.
In 2021 there were 126 female officers at OKCPD, making up just under 12% of our total sworn employees. If you or anyone you know is interested in a career here contact Join OKCPD or check out their website at: https://joinokcpd.com
