The Gladys Aye Story: Baltimore's First Woman Police Officer

In 1973, the Baltimore Police Department dropped the terms "Patrolman" and "Policewoman" in favor of the new title: Police Officer. That same year, Baltimore native Gladys Aye graduated from the Baltimore Police Department's academy, making her the city's first woman to hold the title of Police Officer. The retired officer shares her barrier-breaking story, and her message about being a Black woman in law enforcement.
