What is National Police Woman Day?

National Police Woman Day, observed on September 12th in the United States, honours the women of American law enforcement. From Marie Owens, Chicago's first sworn female officer in 1891, to Alice Wells, who pioneered the Los Angeles Police Department's first female unit in 1910, the day celebrates a century-long fight for representation behind the badge.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
