There have been many stories recently that shed light on the role of policewomen and female cops in countries around the world. For instance, The New Straits Times recently interviewed Zaharah Routin Ibrahim, who in 1955 became of one of the first seven policewomen in Malaysia.
And here in the United States women continue to break new ground. At Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, female cops became the first motorcycle officers on the university campus.
WSU officers Eleshia Kelly and Shannon White-Thomas were two of four officers who passed the Detroit Police Department's motorcycle certification program in June 2009 according to a university press release.
Interesting stuff--thanks for posting.
