The Madison Police Department (MPD) is proud to empower women to excel in law enforcement. We’re committed to creating an environment where women can thrive, balance family life with career aspirations and make a lasting impact on our community.
From navigating pregnancy to the demands of motherhood, our female officers are supported to discover everything they’re capable of with and without the badge. We offer family-friendly schedules, comprehensive benefits and an emphasis on work-life balance.
As an MPD officer, you can help create a “ safer and more just Madison. Your skills and compassion bridge the gap between law enforcement and our neighbors. You’ll help us protect and advocate for Madison’s most vulnerable, support people and uphold the dignity of each person you encounter.
These four members of the department are all mothers and have pushed for there to be change in the department to help assist working moms with kids of all ages.
“Life as a police officer and a mother is rewarding because it provides us with more than one identity.” — Paige Decent, Police Officer
