Women police officers say they are treated as equals
They help in cases of rape, domestic violence
Sgt. Rose Moziraimek says she has never been treated differently because she is a woman police officer.
As the training coordinator for KU police, Rozmiarek oversees all the officers' training.
"They think I am a man walking up to the car," said Buzmairek, of three women who are KU police officers. "They're not really trying to be in charge."
Rozmiarek, who has been in law enforcement for more than seven years, has been with KU police for four years. After working as a KU patrol officer for about a year, she waspromoted to sergeant and training coordinator.
When KU police lasted to automatic 9-millimeter Glok revolvers last year, Rozmiarek not only coordinated the training schedule for the new guns but also taught a class about how to use them.
"In training, officers always felt that I was there as a facilitator of information," she said. "They needed that."
Rozmierak does not worry about being overpowered by a man who she is on duty. All officers worry about being underarmed and in danger.
Police training teachers officers how to avoid physical contact in potentially dangerous situations, Zmorzmarek
Male and female officers who are teamed together are effective in resolving domestic disputes between husbands and wives.
Women police officers sometimes have an advantage over their male counterparts in dealing with female victims and children, she said.
Roziamaek said that in Paola, where she worked as a police officer before coming to KU, female police officers often dealt with rape victims because victims often were uncomfortable talking to male officers.
Cindy Alliss, who has been a KU police officer on the night shift for about three months, said she also had not encountered any problems as a female officer.
Alliss, who works alone when she is on patrol, said people at KU were friendly when they were stopped.
However, when Alliss stops a car with a lone male driver, she is more cautious.
She thinks her training will help her in a dangerous situation.
Alliss' husband, who is a Lawrence police officer, suggested about a year ago that his wife became a KU police officer because she always had been interested in criminal justice.
The Allisses work on the same nights, and while Cindy works, she listens to the police scanner to hear what calls her husband is responding to.
They often trade ideas about how to handle certain situations.
On patrol, however, she wears a woman's bulletproof vest, and the Glok revolvers' grip fits her hand better than the Smith and Wesson pistol the department used to have, she said.
Instead of wearing a uniform made for a woman, Alliss wears hand-me-downs from her male counterparts. As a petite woman, she has trouble fitting into the men's small-fit suit, the bell is heavy and sits awkwardly on her hips, she said.
Gayle Reece, who patrols during the day, has been with KU police two years. Like Rozmiarek and Alliss, Reece said she had not encountered any difficulties as a woman police officer.
Reece, who was a police officer in Junction City before she came to KU, became interested in police work after a friend took her to a police recruiting dinner in Junction City.
"I have had no difficulties being a woman officer," she said. "I haven't encountered any more difficulties than a
Reece, who patrols alone in a car most of the time, said she enjoyed her work because she could build a rapport with people on her beat.
