PSNI has more Catholic officers than it does female ones. That statistic alone speaks volumes.
More info here (lifted from the paywalled BelTel) on how A former senior PSNI officer has claimed she was discriminated against by police for being a woman and was removed from her position as police commander in Londonderry as a result.
