The West Jordan Police Department is hoping to increase the number of women in the department as it looks for ways to diversify its staff to better reflect the community it serves.
WEST JORDAN — Opening the door to step into a patrol SUV, a West Jordan officer signs onto the radio to start responding to calls. Dispatchers bring up an address, saying a report has come in of a woman whose family can't get in touch with her.
The West Jordan Police Department is hoping to increase that number, as the department looks for ways to diversify its staff to better reflect the community it serves. West Jordan Police Department is the first city police agency in Utah to sign on to the 30x30 initiative. According to their websites, the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office and the University of Utah Police Department have also joined the initiative.
Zavala didn't have someone recruit her to join in the kind of outreach the department hopes to do in the future.
