Ontario Women
in Law Enforcement 

OWLE is an organization that grew from an idea to bring together the female members of the law enforcement field from across the province.
Ontario Women In Law Enforcement

By empowering women, enforcing excellence, and inspiring change; the field of policing can evolve to better serve and protect the public while promoting diversity in law enforcement.

Together, these principles create a dynamic and progressive environment that not only uplifts women in policing, but also elevates the standards and impact of law enforcement as a whole.
