Dozens of women who showed up for a San Diego Police Department recruitment event got a chance to participate in a simulated traffic stop and learn how to negotiate with a barricaded suspect or someone threatening suicide.
Robert, a Navy sailor just back home in San Diego from deployment, was atop a bridge threatening to jump, depressed about his failed military career and worried about possibly going to prison. Meanwhile, Andrea Galindo was down below in a specially outfitted police van, gently coaxing him to come down. 'Thank you for your service, Robert,' she calmly told him. 'Why don’t you come down and we can talk. I just want to see you and know more about you.
' The expo, though, was much less about the differences that separate male and female officers and more about the diverse opportunities women can pursue, depending on their interests — from emergency negotiations to traffic investigations and community relations, Williams said.
