What’s a good job for a person who has wanted to be policewoman since she was a little girl?That’s no problem for Janice Black.Janice is the first black woman to join the police force in garden school.Like any man who’s in police training, Janice is spending four months in a special school.
That’s where she’s learning how to be cop.She will carry a gun but she does not plan to use it, she said.She’s the kind of cop who’s more interested in helping people than in shooting them.
One reason Janice tried out for her job, she said, was the need for more black and more women on the police force in Garden City.She’s going to be one of five policewomen on the force, and the only black one.“ It’s not right for a city that has black people living in it, to have an all-white police force, ”she said.“And it’s not right to have men only when half the people in the world are women.”
Police Chief Woody Gates said he’s in favor of having lots of women and black in his crew.“ Miss Black will be a fine police officer,” she said.“ She’s going to finish at the top of her class.” Gates said he’s always looking for new police officers.Anyone who’s interested should call to find out what’s happening.
