Title: Evaluating the Role of Female Police Leaders in Ethiopia

Summary: My goal in this research is to develop guidelines that can help women police officers to reach the most senior managerial levels of the Ethiopian Federal Police (EFP) and to avail themselves of the opportunity to participate in the highest positions of decision-making and leadership. Related to this goal are aspects of the promotion policy of the EFP and leadership concepts. These concepts include characteristics of effective leadership, qualities of a good leader and styles of leadership. The research describes to what extent the requirements of the proclamation on selection and training are applied in practice and shows the status and rights of women police officers compared with those of male police officers. Furthermore, it clearly portrays the negative discrimination arising from cultural and gender chauvinism in relation to the status and rights of women police officers currently serving in the EFP. Finally, it explains the entry of women into policing and the duties and integration of women police officers into a police force. From this point of view, the research has indicated that women officers of the EFP have acquired considerable experience that enhances their efficiency in service delivery. Therefore, it is envisaged that leaders in senior management of the EFP will use this research to increase their understanding of the role of women officers in the EFP, by becoming more aware of the potential leadership qualities of women officers and consequently making relevant amendments to the organisational hierarchy.
