Join Today! 

The National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives was established in March of 1996 by six female police leaders.  The goal was, and remains today, to promote the profession of law enforcement to women and support women who are in the field through training and mentoring.

Executive Membership is open to personnel at the rank of lieutenant or above (or the equivalent). Associate Membership is open to any current member of a police agency at the rank of sergeant or below, and to those that support law enforcement such as researchers, mental health practitioners, or those working at businesses, non-profits, or companies that support the policing profession.

Membership is open to all – not just restricted to women. NAWLEE members are entitled to discounted training, reduced conference registration fees, networking events, and the opportunity to participate in research projects.  To join NAWLEE today visit our membership page here.
