Tamil Nadu has the fifth largest state police force in India and ranked fourth in the number of women police employed, but it now employs more women officers than any other state. Women working in law enforcement feel more stress due to work load, lack of support from family and co workers, shift duty, lack of communication. Job satisfaction of the women police is influenced by promotion, salary and place of work. In this study stress and job satisfaction of the women police constables working in Coimbatore district, Tamil nadu was examined. The sample of 240 was selected by adopting multi- stage sampling and responses were collected using questionnaire method. Results showed that 51.3 percent of respondents were in the age group of 18 – 26, nearly half 44.6 of them were graduates and 49.6 percent were not married. It was also found that education, marital status and experience has made significant variance in the stress among women constables and stress of the women constables was negatively correlated with their job satisfaction.
