Female troopers with Utah Highway Patrol are hoping more women will join the force.
MURRAY, Utah — There are about 30 female troopers with Utah Highway Patrol, and they're hoping more women will join the force.On International Women's Day, FOX 13 News rode along with troopers and spoke to them about how they're trying to get more women on the force.
Wahlberg has worked her way to being one of the faces of the department, frequently speaking with the media as well as being a huge part of recruitment. She remarked Tuesday how she is proud of those who paved the way for her to be in law enforcement and in the military as well.“It's busy, it's fast-paced, and there's always challenges around every corner,” Hawkes said, but also emphasized the importance of being a role model in her position. “It really allows young girls to see the world where they have a place at the table and where they have a voice.
But there still is work to be done, as the agency currently has about 30 female troopers out of about 600. The hope is to attract more soon.
