SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The San Diego Police Department hosted its second annual Women's Hiring Expo on Saturday, Oct. 29.
Participants learned about the SDPD's hiring process, academy, and different units and job opportunities.
Saturday's event was held at Police Plaza with a welcoming address by Police Chief David Nisleit and San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and a keynote address by Assistant Police Chief Sandra Albrektsen.
Participants were broken into smaller groups to hear from various units including SWAT, K-9, Motors and Dispatch.
