Gender Disparity: New Jersey State Police Struggle with Low Female Representation

The New Jersey State Police is facing an investigation by the U.S. Justice Department over claims of gender and racial discrimination. Only 6% of the police force is made up of women, well below the national average for state police departments. Former female troopers have filed a lawsuit alleging gender bias that hinders women from being promoted to top command positions. The lawsuit is part of a larger pattern of discrimination claims made by women and minority officers. The Justice Department has requested documents and conducted interviews as part of their investigation.
