I’m 5’2 and plan on joining the police force and I definitely feel like I’ve gotten some looks when sharing with people my plans. I feel like people don’t take me seriously because I’m short and come across as very girly.
I felt the same and still do. I’m barely 5ft tall and 126 pounds. I took a job in the jail and that was when I realized that we set our limits. Not society. People can doubt you but YOU are the one who knows what you can or can’t handle. The jail ended up showing me that I am capable of more than what others expect. However I’ve considered police and have the same worries that the streets won’t take me seriously being a short female lol. I just feel like you won’t know until you’re in that position. Just don’t let others put doubt into your mind because they couldn’t do something. You’re not them and you’re not just some 5’2 girly female. 🤙🏽 best of luck!
If I ever meet a 160cm cop who is also a woman, I know that I can do whatever I want because no 160cm woman can hold a grown 200cm man back.:P Don't be one of the idiots who think "you can do the same job as men", you can't. If you want to try this all out then call me, I'm just a regular guy and you can do all the training you want, you will still never be able to get me to the ground. I would never think that "I can do the same job as women", for instance women are much better at tedious small work, you're much more systematic at that, I know I can't do the same because I am not a woman, but in 2022 every woman all of a sudden thinks they are as capable as men in terms of strength. It's ludicrous.
I graduated police academy in 1984. In my entire class there were just 2 females including myself. You ladies think it's hard now? Hahhahahhahahhahahhahhahahhahahahhahhahahahha!! We had male officers literally threaten us and tried so hard to not respond to dangerous calls with us. Sexual harassment was RAMPANT. Being raped by a "fellow officer" was not unheard of. It was really hard for us women. I was 19. I knew I had to prove myself to get even a slither of respect. One day there was a code 3 call that went out as an officer in distress. I was closest so, of course I got there first. I saw a man on top of the male officer pounding him with a rock in his head and shoulders. I didn't even radio arrived on scene. I jumped out and latched on to the guy and planted my entire weight on his back while pulling his neck backwards with my PR-24. I could see he dropped the rock and his hands were reaching towards me. Just as we fell off the male officer and on to the concrete three other cars arrived on scene. That guy was wrestling with me trying to get away but I held on like my life depended on it. They rushed over and got him handcuffed. Beaten officer was ok after he got over his concussion. 3 days later they started calling me Tiger. I never had another issue again. They miraculously didn't mind if I showed up first to back them up anymore and no longer hesitated to back me up. Hard earned but worth it. 36 years later (last year), I retired. I was the last of all of them to do so. The officer that gave me the absolute hardest time is my husband of 23 years.
Hell yeah 🫶🏼 I’m not so much worried about the harassment from my coworkers it’s more so the harassment from individuals I am arresting not taking me seriously
Hey! Im looking to be a police officer soon, but I'm a bit scared of the physical fitness test lol, is it hard? Or anything specific you had trouble with?
Stefanie, thank you for the video🙏🏻 I joined the army reserves as a 31B (military police) and am leaving in two weeks🤯 When I get back, I’m going to pursue being an officer. I had started applying around, but then a spot in the reserves came up so I’m headed that direction for now✌🏻
@@Stefanieerose thank you so much:) coming across your videos really helped solidify that I want to pursue this goal I had from ages ago. I loved how positive and confident you are. I think you and I are the same age, so it will be rough, but I have to try!
If you couldn't pass the physical requirements in the army then don't become a police officer. I don't mean the lowered requirements, I mean the same requirements that men have to pass, if you can't pass those then expect never to be taken seriously in public.
I am a junior in highschool and I have wanted to be a K-9 handler for the police since I was in first grade. I am 5’5, in track and planning to do soccer. Working out more to build my body, not only to protect myself but other people. I have a friend whose fam is all military and police that connects me to lots of experiences on the job. Once I graduate, I am planning on going straight to college to get a criminology degree and then off to popo academy I go! Thank you God for waking me up today 🙏
Great video. Where I worked they passed on almost all the reports to me and would mock and put me down. I don't suggest arguing because you won't win if you're new. Just be a bigger person, apply elsewhere secretly and then turn in your badge with your chin up high and let that door slam with the wind. Men don't care about women who stick up for themselves, if thats the place you work at then leave.
I was a machine operator/mechanic for YEARS. 95% of people in that field are men. I dealt with sexist remarks ALL the time. SO annoying. But like you said, I stuck up for myself. They stopped eventually.
Thank you so much for this Video! You are so inspirational my dream is to become a police officer, I am only 16 right now but am taking classes in Criminal Justice online, and working on Graduating HS early. You are so inspirational for the next generation of Female Police Thank you for what you do!!! Also your hair is SO BEAUTIFUL
It's not just in policing. I met a guy in my martial arts class that was sexist. What a jerk. He called me out and two other females to fight. Fine. One by one, not the same day, but we all kicked his a$$ in sparring class. I was older but the other two were way younger than me. OMG they ripped him a new a$$hole LOL. The two young gals weren't even black belts! I was! He was a color belt as well.
@@Stefanieerose I will ask God where he wants to take me. My calling is to be a pastor. My dream is to be a police officer. Edward Snowden joined the military gets medically discharged, and then found his passion which was to become a whistleblower.
Please be sure to watch Stefanie's video on taking a polygraph examination. She gives some valuable advice on how to pass. TELL THE TRUTH. Thanks, Stefanie!!!
I think this was one of the best vids you've done, clearly spoken with lived experiences! I work with so many amazing female Officers and Staff in my Force :)
I am in the military and just started college earning my degree in CJ! I heard that being in law enforcement does a lot of similar things the military does, so hopefully a smoother transition 🤞🏽 but have u ever considered being a detective? Do you have to be a cop for a certain amount of years?
Good idea. I always recommend getting a degree so you have something to fall back on. No need to go for Criminal justice because you will learn everything in the academy.
I was a police explorer at ahe 15 and i was sexually harrassed so bad! Some of them sworn officers and some in the program with me. One of them became state patrol.and was on leave a few years ago for sex with multiple underage women....scary....his had connections in the WSP
I strongly encourage any women watching this video to pay no mind to some of the ignorant mouth-breathers in this comment section. Don’t let people discourage you from joining the force, because number one, being a police officer entails so much more than just being physically strong (whether some of the people in this comment section care to admit it or not.) and number two, people will shit talk you but when danger comes they’re the ones running from the danger and you’re the ones running towards it. If people cannot give you the respect you deserve for that than clearly somethings not working in ye old noggin. Physical strength of course is required for this type of position, and while it’s true that men are built more muscular than us, that doesn’t mean that we’re totally weak and if you can push yourself hard and pass all the requirements than go for it. Seriously don’t listen to some of these people, most of them are miserable trolls anyway.
Love this and so many helpful tips!! Stef if you feel comfortable and would want to, could you show us your tattoos and explain the meaning behind them if they have meaning? I always like watching those videos and I noticed the red white and blue popsicle on your wrist and was just wondering if you had a special meaning for it or if you just wanted to get it to get it, because that's totally cool too! As always, thank you for your service and much love.❤😊
my concern is- what if they disqualify me for having a background of depression? or that i partied a little as a teen? do i need to be perfect to get hired? i know i need a clean background and all that so that isnt my concern
Well you are 100 percent rite thanks you for making this video so helpful because my school name is WestView hight school and all most my school well don son and my family in canada and me too i really whant to be a police officer beacause my cousin mom and my cousin in Saskatoon and the one cousin is in Saskatoon police officer and his name Hasnabhai in police officer
