Implication

This analysis shows that improving female representation and flexible policies can reduce attrition in policing, highlighting the need for cultural change.

Key Points

Achieving 30% female representation improves women’s roles but requires addressing deeper cultural barriers.
Flexible working arrangements linked with clear promotion pathways enhance recruitment, retention, and officer wellbeing.
Cultural pressures and strict hierarchies still hinder women's progress, leading to higher attrition rates.
Compassionate leadership could foster trust among officers and reduce the number of women leaving policing.
