 I joined the police force in 1983 and as the first woman in my precinct there was another woman joining too and it was a rare sight and the population had to get used to us. I think it took adjustment on both sides because it was male dominated working environment but I think we make things work and they got adjusted to our presence slowly. Once I introduce myself as a police officer they know they don't have to explain a lot. We have a common ground. Women are doing things in certain ways and men are doing it in other ways and complimenting these two ways of doing things will create the diversity that's needed not only in ICC but in general.
