On Feb. 28, female first responders and other local, state and federal public safety professional women from across Oklahoma will gather for a symposium in south Oklahoma City. It is believed this is the first such statewide gathering in the history of the state.
Women police, firefighters, deputies, troopers, marshals, investigators, dispatchers, prosecutors, corrections officers, probation/parole officers, emergency medical personnel, and military and tribal public safety personnel are all encouraged to attend.
Called “Oklahoma Women in Public Safety,” the symposium will feature lunch, networking and speakers on “Public Safety & Shift Worker Strategies for Coping with ‘Mom Guilt’” as well as “Recognizing and Responding to Domestic Abuse in Coworkers and the Community You Serve.”
