Women in the Police Force

I'm currently doing research into women in the police force, in order to find sources to work with for my investigation
I have found an organisation called the 'British Association for Women in Policing' (BAWP), that support women in the police force. I thought that exploring this organisation may help me ground my debates for police force women in crime documentaries. Below is a link to a recent document (found on the official website, 21/06/11)
BAWP document link

"It is a vision that this document will keep evolving so that everyone will be able to access the good practice that is taking place all over Britain in relation to women working within policing"

(page one of the above document)

This quote shows that the organisation is working towards gender equality between men and women in the police force, suggesting that there may have been some issues concerning this, in the past. If I can find examples of gender equality and/or inequality, then I can use this document to support and/or debate my ideas.
