Many female cops are lesbians?
Marvin
female LAPD officer, in the elite Metro Division, who tries to catch a
serial killer. One day she is at a "cop" bar. Another cop, a lesbian,
tries to seduce her. The main character then remarks that 30 to 40% of
female cops are thought to be lesbians.
For you cops, what do you think is the percentage of female cops who are
lesbians? Do you think 30 to 40% is too high? I think that figure is too
high.
For the record, Shah did speak to female LAPD officers to gather info for
her novel.

What's up with doggin Marvin for asking a question?
If you don't want to read it then don't, but he has as much right to ask a
valid question as does anyone else. At least his has something to do with
LE. And, Marvin has yet to say anything negative about cops or LE in
general. ALL of his questions are valid and asked with a true interest.
The fact that this one has to do with the number of lesbians in LE is
actually a very good question. After all, from a sociological standpoint it
might be worthwhile in evaluating what makes a "good cop." But no . . .
some of you pinheads have to go off on him.
Marvin - there is no clear study that indicates the number of lesbians in
law enforcement. Typically, departments that hire women who are openly
lesbian - or at least appear to be - will tend to have a higher number on
their force. In other words, a women who is openly lesbian - much like a
man who is openly gay - will run into discrimination at some departments but
be accepted at others. Kinda the same as the dorks on this NG who dog you
for asking sexually oriented questions. Some folks are intimidated by
someone with such an attitude and must lash out against it.
There appears to be NO relationship between sexual orientation and
professional ability. There may, however, be some distinction between
sexual orientation and choices when it comes to professional activity. In
other words, someone who is aggressive - male or female - will chose a
physical response quicker than someone who is less aggressive. In some
situations this is critical, but there has yet to be any work in that
particular area.
My personal experience would suggest that there are a number of female
officers who sometimes are assumed to be lesbian. In fact, too many
officers (and citizens) assume a female officer is lesbian. This is a
prejudice. My experience suggests that there is no higher percentage of
lesbian police officers than there are lesbians in the general population.
Too many just assume that because an officer is female that she must also be
lesbian.
Now, there is a very good study - done by Dr. Sam Davies - that suggests
that testosterone level may have more to do with female involvement in LE
than does sexual orientation. Testosterone level is often used to measure
both sexual appetite (the higher the level in both male and female the
higher the interest in sex) and aggressiveness. Many physiologist, such as
Dr. Davies, hold that testosterone will create a more aggressive person -
both female and male. In Dr. Davies study, 100 female officers where tested
for that level and it was determined that 72% of them had a level higher
than the average female. Likewise, it was also found that a similar number
were more sexually aggressive - though not lesbian - than their traditional
counterparts.
In other words, while there are some obvious lesbian police officers, there
doesn't appear to be a higher number in LE than in the rest of society.
There does, however, appear to be some more sexually aggressive females in
LE. So . . . guys . . . if you want a good time . . . call a cop. :-)
Hope this helped.

At the "Lady Jail" SBI AKA Silly Bitch Institute, there is a gang of carpet
munching deputies who are quite aggressive. I'd say that number is right on.
Matter of fact, I knew a female SBI deputy who was murdered, it was a lez-bo
thing. Bummer too, nice girl.

That's very interesting, Carl. It seems to make alot of sense. I like to do
"agressive" things (race cars, bungee jump, kick box) but have never even had
the slightest inclination to "play for the other team". I will be skydiving
at the Air Force Academy next summer and my husband promised me when we
finally get our dream honeymoon to Austrailia I can go in the shark cage.
And you know by now how agressive I am (so to speak)....
Since you are such a wealth of knowledge and information, what numbers do you
have on the correlation of higher levels of testosterone to lesbians. If you
really think about it, not all lesbians are the "agressive" type. It seems
to me that there is a pretty even split down the middle. I don't know many
lesbians (that I am aware of, at least) but I do know an awful lot of gay
males. And they seem to be split pretty even between the dominate and
passive roles, so I would just imagine that the gay females would be also.
So all in all, it would make sense that if a group of gay females would have
some who tended to be passive and some who tended to be agressive, then a
group of straight females would also have similar qualities. Interesting
food for thought.

You were almost killed one time because of I. You told your husband about
me one time. He couldn't stop laughing. Car, containing you and your
husband, almost crashed.
You will think of this thread someday when you actually become a cop.
Who knows? A lesbian cop might try to seduce you. :-)

Actually, only for you Marvin, will I relate this situation. I think there
is a woman here at work right now who is interested in me.
She is older (early 40s), not really ugly or pretty - just kind of there.
She is extra special nice to me...always coming in to say hello and talk.
Sometimes she puts her hand on my shoulder or arm. I really just figured she
was one of those touchy/feely types but then she came back from a business
trip and came in to thank me for the help I had given her while she was out
of town and gave me an envelope. She had bought me two pairs of earrings.
Both, reletively expensive silver...very pretty. I felt a little
uncomfortable about it but she was so nice and apprciative that I didn't want
to "assume" it was for anything more then what she said-doing a good job.
Since then she calls to chat if she is on the road and yesterday morning all
of us had an early brekfest with the CEO. I had run through the night before
and cleaned off the top of everyone's desk who was out of town and she comes
up to me in the hallway and asks if I cleaned her desk for her. When I said,
yes (I had done it for 15 other people too) she throws her arms around me and
gives me a hug.
Urk. Weird. I know she is not married and doesn't see/date men. But she
hasn't come out and said she was a lesbian. And she doesn't treat any of the
other women in the office like this even though there are others that work
with her just like I do.
So there, Marvin. I also had one woman hit on me before and ask me for a
date. I just politely declined and told her I was seeing my husband. She was
cool and never brought it up again. I figure that it is hard to ask someone
for a date in a female/male relationship so it is probably even harder to ask
in a same sex type of scenario. All I do is make sure that she is clear that
I am married and I adore my husband and hopefully she will recognize that I
wouldn't return those feelings. There is no need to be rude...I just try to
be honest and clear that I am not interested.
Life is complicated sometimes.

3 of the 4 womens coaches at my hi school were "bull dykes" - women who
wanted to be men. They "inspected" the girls as they left the showers,
seduced several, and sexually harrassed a good many more. This behavior
alone would have gotten any male teacher sacked!! Worse, they saw it their
moral duty to protect "their girls" from the boys, whether the girls wanted
protection or not. If they caught a couple holding hands or whispering
intimately they'd gang up and push the boy around and, of course, he'd be
suspended if he took the bait and pushed back. They poked a needle into a
boys eye when he tried to peek thru a bb-hole into the girls dressing room
and chased another down shouting "pervert" and promising to casterate him;
finally knocking him down and kicking him til a few senior men intervened!!
I could care less what women like that do in private but I certainly do not
want them given police authority or weapons!!

That lady should be advised to check lesbian publications for dates. Or
lesbian bars.
All I do is make sure that she is clear
that

I think you could file a sexual harrassment complaint against her if she
keeps on coming on to you. Would the same-sex complaint be accepted though?

I heard some study stating that 3-5% of US population is homosexual.
It is not clear what percentage is lesbian.

I am reminded of a story about Capitol Police in the book, INSIDE CONGRESS.
There was a female officer, in her early 20s, who liked to have sex with
male officers inside a room in the Capitol building.
I guess I should take Carl's advice and head to cop bars near Dodger
Stadium for some "companionship". Do I really have a chance? :-)

I've seen similar claims. I believe that figure accounts for lesbians as
well.

LOL. There's also a president who likes to have sex in the Capitol
building. :-)

But isn't it possible, just ~possible~ that the female was inspired to
become a Police Officer in order to somehow make a small "difference"
in the world, every day, by helping others? By carrying on a family
tradition, perhaps? Or had a positive role-model that encouraged her to
pursue this career?
When reading this thread, please keep an open mind. LEOs are expected
