Albuquerque Police Host 'Women in Blue' Event to Inspire the Next Generation of Female Officers

ALBUQUERQUE – The Albuquerque Police Department invites women interested in a career in law enforcement to attend its upcoming Women in Blue event on Saturday, June 7, 2024, from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the APD Academy located at 5412 2nd St NW, Albuquerque, NM 87107.

This one-day event is designed to provide insight, support, and inspiration for women considering a future in policing. Attendees will have the chance to connect with female officers, hear firsthand about their career journeys, and learn how rewarding a role in law enforcement can be.

Participants can also take part in a group run and physical fitness activities led by officers. For those not ready to join the workout, resources and information on physical fitness preparation will be available.

The Women in Blue event is part of APD’s broader initiative to recruit more women into its ranks and challenge outdated perceptions about women in policing. In addition to fitness insights, attendees will gain access to ride-along opportunities and receive guidance on the application, recruitment, and pre-hire process.

Limited spots remain! Register or learn more.

Childcare and lunch will be provided.
