Police departments in the community honor National Police Woman Day and salute the women officers serving within their forces.
In a heartfelt tribute, the Concord Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies in Contra Costa County, California, took time to honour their female officers on National Police Woman Day. The day, observed on September 12, recognises the crucial role women play in law enforcement across the country.
The Concord Police Department expressed pride in the women on its force, acknowledging their strength, compassion, and professionalism. The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office also shared a public message, thanking women serving in all roles for their dedication and commitment.
