March is National Women\u2019s history month and this year's theme is, "Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories." So I\u2019m republishing Episode 264: History of Women in the FBI, which celebrated the 50th anniversary of the modern-day female agent.\xa0\xa0

In this encore episode, active and retired agents share personal stories from their FBI careers, historical details about Director Hoover's initial rejection, and the Bureau's eventual acceptance of women as agents.

I hope you\u2019ll listen or re-listen to the show, especially to understand the significance of the FBI\u2019s recent pledge to advance women in policing. The national 30x30 pledge aims to bring more women into policing to improve public safety, community outcomes, and trust in law enforcement. I\u2019ve updated the episode show notes to include a link to the press release about the pledge.\xa0
