Why is it so difficult for females to enter law enforcement?
DEAR EDITOR,
I have observed that there is a small percentage of women within the Guyana Police Force and the Guyana Defence Force, although there are a large number of females applying and evening calling to find out the procedures for entering the force and the date they (the Guyana Police Force and the Guyana Defence Force) will be recruiting females.
There is still a small amount of females within the law enforcement community despite their qualifications and passing the entrance exams.
I don’t know the reason(s) for this problem and I’m not going to speculate, but I think that our organizational attitude towards females needs to change, because I think they can be just as effective as their male counterparts. I would really appreciate if the relevant authorities look into this matter.
