HISTORY OF WOMEN IN FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
Women were not authorized to carry firearms, execute search warrants, and make arrests until 1969 when President Richard Nixon signed Executive Order 11478 "Equal Opportunity in the Federal Government."  This meant federal law enforcement positions opened up for women who had previously been barred based solely on gender.

WELCOME TO WIFLE...

Women in Federal Law Enforcement, Inc. and the WIFLE Foundation, Inc. are both commonly known as simply WIFLE. WIFLE has been in existence since ICWIFLE in the 70's when it was an inter-agency committee formed by the U.S. Departments of Justice and Treasury to address attracting and retaining women to the federal law enforcement positions. WIFLE incorporated a non-profit organization in June 1999 as Women in Federal Law Enforcement, Inc. to better continue the work of ICWIFLE.  The WIFLE Foundation, Inc.,  incorporated in 2006, is the educational arm for WIFLE providing Annual Leadership Training, seminars, awards, and Scholarship Programs. The WIFLE Executive Leadership Institute (WELI) established in 2011 provides immersive leadership training sessions for GS Grades 13, 14, 15, and SES (and State, county and local equivalents) which are held in conjunction with the Annual Leadership Training. The 2023 WIFLE Engagement and Community Impact (WECI) program continues to bring WIFLE volunteer activities to communities. To this day, WIFLE continues to be the only non-profit in the United States dedicated to addressing reasons why women remain underrepresented in Federal law enforcement.

Be part of the future of women in Federal law enforcement. They can't be what they don't see!
