Schmitt said that she also had received a lot of encouragement from the men in the department and so far hadn't met any resistance on the job.
"Although the kind of job I do will probably influence whether they (the department) hire any more women in the future," she said.
Lawrence Police Chief Richard Stanxwil expressed no doubt that women could be prosecuted.
CAPTAIN BOB ELISION of the KU Police Department agreed.
"I'm looking for qualified street officers we are hiring—not men or women specified."
Though many law enforcement agencies are hiring women patrol officers because they realize their potential, some are doing so because recent federal legislation requires them to.
In 1972, Congress amended Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination for sex by public as well as private employers. Included for the first time were law enforcement agencies.
Also, the 1973 Crime Control Act prohibits recipients of federal anti-crime funds from discriminating against females. It requires that any agency with 50 or more employees received more than $25,000 in federal funds set up women's equal opportunity plans.
BRENT MCFALL, city personnel director, said that a city ordinance passed in 1972 required the police department to actively recruit women and to make sure they competed on an equal basis with men for jobs.
Women will also be taking more leadership positions in their departments. Most officers rise through the ranks in the patrol divisions of their departments and in other positions, fulfilling the opportunity for advancement because they were barred from patrol duty.
Sutt said, however, she would refuse any advancement given her simply because she is a woman. Only if she passed the promotion would she accept it, she said.
