WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT
Members and visitors, welcome to the Wisconsin Association of Women Police website.  I am proud to be a part this organization which is celebrating its 25^th anniversary.  The WAWP was started by a group of City of Madison and Eau Claire police officers at a time when women were still very new to law enforcement, very much in need of support and training as they found they weren’t receiving this from their own departments.  The WAWP is affiliated with the International Association of Women Police (IAWP) and has worked through the years to provide quality training and educational opportunities to both men and women in law enforcement, provide support for women in law enforcement, and allow women from all over Wisconsin with a place to network with each other.

2008 was a very pivotal year for the WAWP.  25 years in existence is a remarkable accomplishment, however members of the BOD recognized the need to begin looking to the future.  It became important to find a way to look back and honor our “Founding Mothers” while finding ways to meet the needs of the new generation of women entering the field. It is a long process, but you can see from our new website that we are making progress and are working to continue the mission began 25 years ago.  The website contains information about WAWP training, scholarships, and our efforts to recognize the achievements of women in law enforcement.  Please take advantage of the links to other professional organizations.  I hope you enjoy our new look. 

Sincerely,
Eileen Langford,
President WAWP
