On this edition of Encore, we’re looking back at Breaking the Blue Ceiling, originally introduced live on December 9 of 2020. As part of Women’ History Month, we invite you to take a listen to this high-profile panel of women and men in law enforcement to discuss the challenges of the recruitment of female officers, and the unique experiences that women face in their roles to serve and protect.

This is a three-part series, with part 1 beginning with opening remarks by the Memorial Fund’s CEO, Marcia Ferranto, and keynote speaker, Senator Maggie Hassan, followed by individual introductions from each panelist.
