The Percentage of women police officers by country. Low percentage of sworn women police are often suggested to correlate to low reports of rape at police station.[1] In Japan, rape kits are available at every police station, however, when it comes to hospitals, only 14 of the 47 prefectures have rape kits at hospitals, to which a BBC documentary allege this to be a reason for low crime report rate.[2] It also hampered investigation of gender violence in India.

Notes:

  • Wherever possible, this article prefer statistics on sworn police officers (sometimes refer as "operational" officers), i.e. those who have arrest power and possess police firearm. This matters because "operational experience" is important to qualify for police chief jobs in many countries.[3] Yet, data on police officers often lump with non-sworn police officers (sometimes refer as "civilian" officers), i.e. professionals who perform duties not requiring arrest power, including crime scene investigators, cybercrime investigators, forensic technicians, and police dispatchers. Nonetheless, this article always exclude police administrative/clerical staff. Non-sworn officers and administrative staff often have more women.[4][5]
  • While some countries recruited women sworn police in early 20th century, many are subjected to limited roles. Case studies refer to the paragraph on Hong Kong and Singapore.
  • This article only concern police officers, excluding other law enforcement officers, which often have more women. For example, the "Personnel in the criminal justice system by sex" data released by Eurostat is not relevant in this article.[6]
  • Some police force selectively release data on the percentage of women in senior ranks (some referred as commissioned officers). As senior ranks usually constitute around 10% of all officers, the high percentages of women in these ranks is unrepresentative and shall never be included in this article.[7]
  • While the year-by-year newly recruits (as opposed to total officers) usually reflect a higher percentage of women, newly recruited officers are usually on probation and not all passed.[8]
  • This article counts the aggregate of federal and local police.

By jurisdiction[edit]

Afghanistan[edit]

An Afghan women police cadet practice marksmanship at a NATO Training Mission in Kabul, 2010.

Women in Afghanistan constitutes 0.99% (1,551 out of 157,000) of the police in July 2013. In 2005, 0.34% (180 out of 53,400) women police. [9]

By ethnicity, the women in Afghan National Police are overwhelmingly Hazaras. In 2015, over 60% of the policewomen are Hazaras (9% of the population), 20.8% are Tajiks (27% of the population), 8.3% are Pashtun (40% of the population) and 6.8% are Uzbeks (9% of the population).[10]

Illiteracy among all Afghan police were 70-80%,[11] while women police were even worse due to the Taliban's ban on girls education.[9] The Taliban has also run a campaign of assassination against women police and other working women.[12]

[16] In 2006, the breakdown of women officers by Australian police ranks are as follows: Constables (27%); Sergeants and senior sergeants (11%), commissioners (8%).[17]

In 1915, Lillian Armfield and Maude Marian Rhodes became the first two women in Australian Police.[18]

Bangladesh[edit]

Bangladesh women police within the UN peacekeeping force in DR Congo, 2012

Women in Bangladesh constitutes 3.5% out of 28,718 Bangladesh Police officers (Class-1 and Class-2) in 2017.[19] In 1974, twelve women were recruited as the first ever women police.[20]

Independence Day, Brazil, 2008

Women in Brazil constitutes 11.4% (46,180 of 403,681) of the Military Police in 2019, the bottom two states being Ceará (4%, 782 women) and Pará (6%, 974 women).[21] Many States of Brazil had laws setting a quota of 10% on women in Military Police, including the Federal District in 1998 and Mato Grosso in 2001.[22] In reality, women constitutes less than the quota, approximately 5% in 2004.[22] As of 2020, the women quota raised to 20%.[21]

In 1955, State of São Paulo recruited the first women police in Brazil. In the 1970s, many Military Police set up divisions of "Women Company" (Companhias Femininas).[22] Notice Military police in Brazil is responsible for public order while Civil Police are responsible for investigation.

China[edit]

In this video, an ethnic Tibetan police introduced her daily routine at Beijing West station during the peak of Spring Festival, 2020

Women in China constitutes an undisclosed amount in the people's police (民警). Yet, it is known that an admission quota of 10-15% set for women in police academies is long-held and entrenched.[24][25] Universities ran under the auspices of the Ministry of Public Security stated "due to the special nature of high risks, urgency and overloading in public security jobs, it does not plan to take more than 15% women".[26][27] This practice is almost identical to Vietnam (see §Vietnam).

This practice only faced scrutiny by the public for the first time in June 2019. In the comments section of various official press release on admission policy, many challenged the policy were at odds with feminism in Chinese communism.[28] The media storm [29][30][31] prompted a public security bureau to condemn "extremist organizations, including extremist feminists who manufacture social confrontation in the name of women rights". [note 2]

Colombia[edit]

Environmental police patrolling a river, Colombia, 2008

Women in Colombia constitutes 10.6% (14,801 of 139,177) of police officers (total personal uniformado profesional) as of February 2021.[32] A full breakdown of men and women by ranks is updated annually on its official website.[32]

First, it mixed up women police officers with "women within the police force" (kvinder af politistyrken).[33] Second, it mixed up women police cadets (who are on probation) and women police officers.[note 3]

In 1911, the first female "reserve officer" was hired, yet until the 1940s, they are mostly tasked with interrogation of women and children.[8]

Women in Hong Kong constitutes 17.2% of women officers in 2018.[35] A breakdown of women officers by Hong Kong police ranks in 2018 are as follows: Inspectors (29.8%) and Superintendents (24.5%).[35]

On 1 December 1949, the first women, Sub-Inspector Kimmy Koh, was recruited.[36] This breakthrough was sparked by a similar move in Singapore in 1949. In 1962, the total of women police stood at 273, as it was recorded that "all women police were dispatched to the Hong Kong border to manage the refugee wave from the Maoist China to Hong Kong".[36]

India[edit]

Police in Chennai carrying batons, 2009.

Data released by Indian Police Service is unspecific as it mix up civil police with counter-insurgency reserve police (District Armed Reserve, Special Armed Police and India Reserve Battalion).[37] In 2020, the state of Bihar has the highest percentage (25.3%) of combined women police force, yet the report also noted the data was "35% for Woman and 3% for Backward caste woman".[38] This highlights the problem of caste within women in India.

The government recommended 33% of police to be women in a memorandum titled Advisory on Crime against Women in 2009, which the Joint Secretary to the Government of India wrote "The representation of women in police at all levels should be increased through affirmative action so that they constitute about 33% of the police".[39][40][41]

In 27 April 1946, 62 women were recruited as the first ever women police. This breakthrough was directed by the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers during the Occupation of Japan. Yet, these women do not possess arrest power at the time.[45][46]

Netherlands[edit]

Women in the Netherlands constitutes 33.4% (20,437 of 61,229) of Dutch National Police. It is unclear how many of these women are sworn police (operationeel) as the data lump it with non-sworn police (niet-operationeel).[49]

This breakthrough was sparked by the communist-led pro-independence guerilla war in 1948.[57] This sparked a similar move in 1949 in British Hong Kong. Yet, "Besides screening [of female detainees] and escort duties, female officers were commonly deployed for clerical work and as radio or telephone operators [...]. Other than the occasional work as plainclothes decoys, women police duties rarely extend to the field in the 1950s."[57]

South Africa[edit]

Cape Town, 2010

Women in South Africa constitutes 17.1% (18,383 of 107,791) of police officers in 2006. A report in 2006 criticized South African Police Service that "since the focus has been on race as opposed to gender, the SAPS is still far from achieving its intended gender-equity targets." [59]

In 1972, women police were finally enlisted as "full members of the force".[60]

Women in South Korea constitutes 7.7% of police officers (경찰관) in 2013, as compared to 6.3% in Korean fire services and 7.8% in Korea Correctional Service.[61] In 2019, the police launched a plan to boost women officers to 15% by "harmonizing" fitness test standards.[62][63] New recruits of women officers has risen from 10% in 2017 to 38% in 2020.[63]
