For The First Time In History, North Carolina Has 6 Black Female Police Chiefs
http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_59b6a5c7e4b06e4604a1fd68Snip
Six black women currently hold the title of police chief in North Carolina, marking the first time this has happened in state history, according to WRAL.
Among them are Raleigh’s Cassandra Deck-Brown, Durham’s C.J. Davis, Morrisville’s Patrice Andrews and Fayetteville’s Gina Hawkins, all of whom spoke to the local station last week about their experiences being women of color in leadership positions within the force. The women opened up about what’s it like being in the male-dominated field and the obstacles they’ve overcome. Women only make up 13 percent of the police force in America, according to the National Center for Women and Policing.
