Police ERTs have been criticized for being “secretive,” “elite,” distrusting of popular media or outside research, and difficult to contact. Subsequently, researchers often struggle to form partnerships with police agencies to acces…
Exploring beliefs around low rates of female participation in Canadian police emergency response teams
We present findings from an exploratory study on women’s participation in Emergency Response Teams (ERT).
