The 12th annual Women in Blue event is scheduled for Thursday, May 22, 2025 at MGM Grand Detroit. The event is a celebration of the women within the Detroit Police Department and Detroit Fire Department. Both departments have incredible women who are in vital roles supporting public safety. This event highlights their contributions, celebrates female first responders and encourages women in leadership.

The event includes honoring a Detroit Police Department Women in Blue Officer of the Year and a Detroit Fire Department Woman of the Year. The nominees are submitted by peers and supervisors and the departments narrow down the list to the finalists who are recognized at the event. One winner is selected from each department. 

Each year a strong female leader provides inspiring keynote remarks. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel was the keynote speaker at the 2024 event and spoke about her respect and admiration for the work these women do, despite challenges in their field. 

The Detroit Public Safety Foundation is proud to host the event each year and recognize the service of the amazing women who serve the City of Detroit in various public safety positions.
