DALLAS - A Dallas police officer says a new women's police association is "kind of shaking up the boys' club a little."

Officer Jennifer Atherton is the president of a newly formed Dallas Police Women's Association. It's a group that took nearly a decade to form.

The idea first came to Atherton and others when they watched the movie "The Heat" with Sandra Bullock.
