The Sparks Police Department has joined the 30×30 Pledge, a coalition of police leaders, researchers, and professional organizations across the United States who have joined together to advance the representation and experiences of women in policing. The 30×30 Initiative is affiliated with the Policing Project at NYU School of Law and the National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives (NAWLEE). The goal of the 30×30 Initiative is to reach 30 percent of women in police recruit classes by 2030, and to ensure policing agencies are truly representative of the jurisdiction they serve. While 30×30 is focused on advancing women in policing, these principles are applicable to all demographic diversity, not just gender. “We are honored to be among the first in the nation to make this critical commitment…” Chief Chris Crawforth.
