This March, the 30×30 Initiative turns three! We are so excited to celebrate this achievement, and as a trusted partner in this work, we invite you to join us in highlighting this amazing milestone on your social media. To make this as easy as possible, we have developed sample posts that you can copy and paste directly to your social media! These are designed to fit on Twitter but can be used on any social channel.
Our anniversary date coincides with Women’s History Month, so you will see us share some highlights on the history of women in policing over the course of March by following us on Linkedin. We invite you to engage and share this content, as well!

- This #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re highlighting the important role that women officers have in protecting our community. We partnered with the @30x30Initiative and pledged to better support women in policing and increase their recruitment and retention. https://30x30initiative.org/
- As of 2022, women make up only 13% of sworn officers & 3% of police leadership in the U.S. – and we are dedicated to changing this. This month marks the 3-year anniversary of the @30x30initiative to increase women recruits to 30% by 2030. Learn more: https://30x30initiative.org/
How we’re changing policing
The 30×30 Initiative is a coalition of police leaders, researchers, and professional organizations committed to advancing and supporting the representation, experiences, and well-being of women at all levels of law enforcement, both in the U.S. and beyond.
Research shows that women play a crucial role in building community trust, de-escalating conflict, and improving public safety outcomes, with evidence linked to reduced use of force and enhanced relationships with the communities they serve. However, women represent less than 14% of sworn officers and 20% of recruits in state and local law enforcement agencies. Additionally, about 40% of the approximately 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the U.S. have no full-time women officers (Source: Bureau of Justice Statistics).
We are collaborating with hundreds of agencies to make law enforcement a profession where qualified women who are drawn to it feel welcomed and supported while ensuring agencies address their unique needs and foster their success.
