Women in policing in Taiwan began in 1948.

History
Taiwan did not have women police during Japanese rule. Following the police misconduct during the February 28 massacre in 1947, the Taiwanese government admitted women police as a means to soften the tension with the citizens; hence, in December 1947, Taiwan Police College took a batch of 61 women students, who graduated in July 1948. This was the first ever women police students in Taiwanese history.

2000: Women police division
In 2000, every County Police set up a "women police division" (女警隊) to be in charge of domestic violence, or in general, protection of women and children. However, in October 2003, it was found that the heads of such women police division were all male across Taiwan except in the City Police of Taipei and Kaoshiung.

Women Police Chief
The first women chief of County Police was Hsieh Fenfen (謝芬芬), who was appointed Chief of Yilan County Police in 2003.
