Michelle Aguayo joined Aurora PD in 2020 and became the school resource officer for Vista Peak Preparatory not long after in November 2021. She says she's always wanted to be a police officer, with the dream of becoming a detective one day — maybe.
The goal of the 30x30 Initiative is to have women make up 30% of police recruitment classes by 2030. According to the initiative, women make up only 12% of sworn officers and 3% of police leadership in the U.S.“If I can do it, they can do it,” she told Denver7. “I’ve been here for eight or nine weeks. I don't think I’ve seen a single complaint yet involving a female officer since I’ve been here come to my desk. Not one yet, anyway," said Interim Aurora Police Chief Art Acevedo."Now does it mean women are perfect, no.""I think women make phenomenal police officers. They tend to use their intellect first," he said.
