The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) is set to host its second annual recruiting event titled ‘Her Badge, Her Impact’ on March 3, 2024. Scheduled to take place at the IMPD Training Academy, this event aims to inspire and recruit women interested in pursuing careers in law enforcement.
Beginning at 18:30 local time, the one-hour event will feature a panel of female officers who will share their personal experiences within the department. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and gain insight into the realities of a career in law enforcement.
In an effort to promote physical fitness and community engagement, the event will also include a workout session starting at 19:30. Participants are encouraged to wear appropriate workout attire. This interactive component aims to foster camaraderie among attendees, as well as promote the importance of physical readiness in law enforcement.
The event is accessible to both in-person and virtual audiences, with registration required for those wishing to attend online. Interested individuals can secure their spot through a link provided by the IMPD. This initiative not only encourages women to consider a future in policing but also serves as a platform for connecting potential recruits with current officers who can offer valuable insights and support.
As the IMPD continues to seek diverse candidates to strengthen its workforce, events like ‘Her Badge, Her Impact’ underscore the department’s commitment to inclusivity and representation. By showcasing the stories and successes of female officers, the IMPD hopes to create an encouraging environment for women who aspire to make a difference in their communities through a career in law enforcement.
