“Lessons Learned Working for Law Enforcement in NYC”

Imagine being in law enforcement at the time when it went from “policewoman” to “police officer.” Or being an African American female in the NYPD.

Maureen will share with us her stories, strategies, and suggestions for women entering a predominantly male work environment and how she made it all work during 33 years in law enforcement.
