1)  Answer: Black officers were hired as early as 1861, while the first woman was not hired until 1905. Even when minorities and women were hired, they faced on -the-job discrimination. Both women and minorities continue to be underrepresented. There is evidence, although some of it may be questionable, that there are situations in which minorities and women may be particularly suited to certain types of police work.
