Work in the police is very difficult. Both physically and mentally. It would seem that this work is simply created for men. But there are also female police officers who successfully cope with this position. What is their job? Who are the women cops? The answers to these questions are in the article.
Historical reference
Female police officers first appeared on the territory of the Russian Empire in 1916. By this time, the fair sex met in the ranks of the military, but they were allowed to occupy positions that did not imply access to secret documentation.
After the October Revolution, the situation changed somewhat. Theoretically, between the male and female parts of the population there was now equality, which was officially proclaimed by the new government. In practice, female police officers appeared in the ranks of public guardians of the law only in cases where there was a shortage of men. As a rule, women were sent to work in factories. Their duties included screening workers to identify cases of theft of state property. Changes occurred in the mid-forties, after the end of the Second World War. Then, about twenty thousand women served in the ranks of the Soviet police . Of these, nearly a quarter were involved in the criminal investigation.
What a woman needs to be to become a successful cop
Today , the Russian police accepts women into their ranks. There are no gender restrictions. The prerequisite for employment is higher education, good health and excellent reputation. Biographical information about the applicant is also taken into account. A refusal to work may even be due to the fact that a relative of a potential police officer was serving a sentence in prison. A plus when choosing a new employee from among several is the military service, although for women it is optional. But even if all these qualities of the applicant correspond to the required, the police of the Russian Federation does not guarantee one hundred percent hiring. This is followed by a medical commission, which, as a rule, is not passed by everyone.
Positions held by female police officers
Most often, women are found in services such as passport control and the migration department. Many female police officers have been successful as juvenile inspectors. Paper work is also in the hands of women. Women in the police often sit at headquarters or deal with personnel records. However, the fair sex today less and less want to sit in a warm room. You can meet them in such positions as an investigator, forensic scientist , investigator and even an escort. And the colonies also always wait in their ranks for new employees. Often, female police officers in Russia give themselves up to a career in the judiciary.
Difficulties awaiting women in the service
The biggest challenge for female police officers is the high level of psychological stress at work. Also, when working in the police, the fair sex is faced with an irregular work schedule, the need for strict submission to the charter. In view of these circumstances, they have to face problems of misunderstanding in the family. In Russia, not every man is ready to accept the fact that his wife is not constantly at home. In this regard, many women leave the service, as they still prefer the family.
But, despite this fact, women, oddly enough, are increasingly striving to enter the service. In the ranks of the police of the Russian Federation, every year they become more and more. Those women who are rooted in the profession cause respect and admiration from male colleagues.
