Kentucky police departments trying to recruit more female officers

Precisely. You can only pile up dirty laundry so long before the neighbors notice and start complaining - would you prefer to deal with it or wait until some other agency comes in and deals with it? Trust me, you do NOT want the FBI coming in and taking over - just ask LAPD after Crash/Rampart how they like having the FBI watching everything they do. And that is exactly what happens if you don't attend to business and keep your own house tidy. Look at Steubenville, Penn, was under a consent decree for years - for 48 force cases lost or settled over 20 years - do we really want to follow their path?
