Abstract: This paper researches the position of women in leadership roles within the Slovenian Police. The authors research the current status of women in leadership positions and which leadership style is the most appropriate for law enforcement agencies. The purpose of this paper is to gather theoretical knowledge from the field of leadership in law enforcement and to determine whether women can lead just as effectively as men in this environment. While writing, multiple different methods were used, including the normative-dogmatic method, descriptive method and synthesis method. What the authors found out was that women are extraordinarily rare in Slovenian police leadership. They still face some troubles when going for promotion. Gender equality as stated under the Equal Opportunities for Women and Men Act is nowhere near achieved. It was also confirmed that women are just as capable and successful leaders in law enforcement as men are.
