Answer 2

Are there enough women who want to be officers? Think about why they might not want to work in that environment. Talk to some women police officers and some women who don't want to be police officers.

I imagine that the men in charge are not keen to have too many women, they're worried they'll take over. You are correct to say men have more physical strength. Keep them for the muscle work and let the women get on with the rest.

Answer 3

Consider also how women may be attracted to other professions thus lowering the number of women available to be cops, and that it's only been relatively recently that women have been allowed to be cops and so there's going to be a period of time (that we're still in) in which the numebr of women on the force will be low in proportion to the number of women in the workforce in general.
