Las Vegas police hope to close gender, race gaps

A historically white male-dominated profession, the gender gap remains a defining factor for law enforcement in the Las Vegas Valley. As of July 2017, Metro records show women accounted for roughly 12 percent of the department’s 3,706 commissioned officers, which include detectives, public information officers and corrections officers. This means, according to Metro’s most recent demographic reports, the department is made up of 3,242 male officers and just 464 women officers. Jasmen Jackson speaks.
