14th Annual Women in Blue Luncheon:
Kaleidoscope
Tuesday April 22nd 2025 • 11:30 am
Hilton San Diego Bayfront
A kaleidoscope doesn’t just reflect light—it transforms it, much like our 2025 Women in Blue honorees. They bring depth, dimension, and brilliance to the San Diego Police Department and the community they serve. Dedication extends beyond the badge; they are pillars of strength for their families, friends, and those they mentor. As leaders, they uphold the highest standards in uniform, in the community, and at home. Together, their unique qualities blend to shape a dynamic and inspiring vision of modern policing.
The 14th Annual Women in Blue Luncheon brings business and community leaders together to honor the achievements of trailblazers in the public safety sector. Hear the inspiring stories of female officers and civilian professionals and celebrate the multifaceted impact of women in law enforcement as they create safer, stronger communities.
The Women in Blue Initiative propels the advancement of women in policing and inspires future generations of young women to pursue a career of service.
