Can anyone think of any traits OTHER than physical fitness & strength that police officers require?
Hunny Bunny asked:
With police nowadays so trigger happy on the Taser - where a subject is subdued from a distance - physical strength is less of an issue than in the past. Even peaceful protesters and confused, psychotic Polish airline passengers are merrily tasered by police. Its a sign of the times, I guess.

I think there is much more to this vocation than some sexist men would have us believe.
What traits do cops need to be successful at their job?
What areas of policing might women excel in, and why?

Leadership, wit, resourcefulness, ability to understand things in the mind’s eye, ability to think on their feet, passion (to do the job well & to enforce the law effectively and efficiently), patience. So, really, strength does not always mean power.

Traits: Alert, quick thinker, quick learner, able to be authoritative, brave. In the academy they push you hard physically and mentally and try to make you fail. You have to shoot, defend yourself physically, and get maced. Some departments even require you to get tasered if you are going to use one.
Women excel in any type of policing. Training shows you that you are not alone in the field. It teaches you how to not get yourself in over your head.

When you sign on to do a job you must be able to handle ALL of the responsibilities that job entails. Police work is physical. Apprehending and subduing the mostly male oriented perpetrators of crime… Are you going to cower until your ‘area of expertise’ is required?
