“I would walk by male officers and under their breath, they’d be like, ‘Fucking whore. Fucking bitch,’” an El Paso detective said, recalling her treatment after a male officer’s arrest for secretly filming their sexual encounter and sending the tape to other officers.

“Apparently, you’re a bitch for pressing charges,” she’d hear from friends who’d try to defend her to other officers. “You’re ruining his life.”

The El Paso Police Department is a hostile workplace for women, various current and former EPPD employees say, with a misogynistic work culture permissive of sexual harassment and sexism toward women officers and civilian employees alike.

They’re even bastards to each other.
