The department has about 40 employees, with 10 women who serve as professional or support staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moore said he is connecting with networks of female leaders statewide and nationally to encourage more women to apply. He noted a selling point to potential recruits is a better work-life balance for Palomar College police officers since they are not typically scheduled to work weekends or holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am grateful and proud that our campus police department has made this commitment and accepted the challenge to achieve this goal, said Dr. Star Rivera-Lacey, Superintendent\/President.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Palomar College Police Department has joined a national initiative to increase the representation of women officers on its force to 30% by 2030, becoming one of the first community college departments in the country to take the 30&#215;30 Pledge.
