Safety and Justice

Columbia in Howard County was ranked the #1 Safest City in America by WalletHub in 2019. The Chief of Police in 2019 was a woman and two of the five members of the Command of the Police Department staff are women. Yet, violence against women is significant. Further, female representation in justice professions lags.
