And if you've been out on the social setting long enough you'll know that at times these fights between women can get out of hand and require police intervention. Does this mean that there should be an increase in women police officers at these events? The compol says that there is no need for it, because all police officers have a right to detain citizens who are acting out in public, regardless of their gender.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"There is nothing in law that precludes a male police officer from resting or detaining a woman; the law precludes the male police officer from conducting a search on the woman's person. And so if there is a woman who behaving in such a way in public that requires the police to intervene and detain her, the police man can do so, and there is no issue with that."
