With this podcast, we hope to provide current and former police women with a safe space and an anonymous platform (if desired) to elevate their silenced voices. Recognizing the trauma and stigma many police women face, we are here to put an end to victim-blaming and the minimization of trauma. We also know the importance of applying an intersectional lens, recognizing that each woman has her own unique story and experience. Join us on September 29, 2021 for Episode 1 of Behind Blue Doors.
