The St. Paul Police Department has joined a nationwide initiative to recruit more women into the law enforcement profession.
Friday, the department became the first law enforcement agency in Minnesota to join the 30x30 Initiative, which commits to a series of low-cost or no-cost activities designed to improve the representation and experiences of women in the St. Paul Police Department.
SPPD said women currently make up about 12% of sworn police officers and less than 3% of police leadership in the U.S. The goal of the initiative is to recruit classes that are at least 30% female by 2030 while ensuring policies and culture intentionally support the success of women throughout their careers.

Law professors make up the bulk of the members on President Joe Biden’s newly created Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States, tasked with studying proposals to reform the high court.
The 36-member commission will examine the merits and legality of reform proposals, including ideas to impose term limits on justices and to expand the court, the New York Times reports. The commission will also examine the court’s case selection, rules and practices, according to a White House press release.
