History
The CMPD Women's Network was established in December 1998 by the Executive Staff of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. Originally called the "Mentoring Committee," the group was formed in order to aid the department in retaining women police recruits throughout their police academy training.
The group was chaired by ranking women members of the CMPD who regularly met with and mentored women recruits throughout their basic law enforcement training.

Expanded Role
Since its inception, the focus of the group expanded to deal with issues that reached beyond the scope of retention. The group changed it's name to the 'CMPD Women's Network' to more accurately reflect the nature of the work. The Network now facilitates the professional development of women through the work of several subcommittees. Ranking women in the Department serve as Exeuctive Sponsors and Subcommittee Chairs and direct the work product of each subcommittee.
