Barry has been a police officer since 1972. He has seen a lot of changes in his department and to the culture of policing in general. In the 1970s, most of his fellow officers were white men. He thinks the idea of adding more women and minorities to the force is great because it may be easier to respond to certain incidents with more diversity in the force.

What type of trouble is she most likely to run into as a police officer?
