Women tend to have a high self-efficacy when it comes to their role as a police officer. They feel they can fulfill their duties equally, if not better than their fellow male officers. Despite having a slight disadvantage in the physical aspect of the job, women tend to pay more attention to detail and have a collected mental state that allows them to write reports and pay attention to detail more than males can. This proves to be an effective tool and alternate viewpoint on situations for the police force.
Women in policing use a different approach to policing than males do. Women rely heavily on communication rather than physical force. Women have been labeled as using a community-oriented style of policing, which makes them more effective at dealing with domestic disturbances and violent incidents. “Women are better at diffusing a situation; they tend to listen more before they react.” Women do use less force than men do, but they still use force when needed.
Males and females receive the same salary, given they have the same amount of experience and training. Special duty training is also available to both female and male officers, which includes SWAT, dive team, or honor guard. Each of those, pay according to the job and are not based on gender.
