Abstract
This study used a survey to gather information regarding workplace accommodations for pregnant police officers and the experiences of women who have worked under these policies. Thirty-six current and former female police officers from Canada and the United States were included in this analysis (including 24 who had been pregnant, and one who was currently pregnant at the time of participation). Eleven respondents who had never been pregnant were also included to control for work-related pain scores (rather than pregnancy-related pain scores) and to gather more entries with respect to departmental pregnancy policies. Experience with on-the-job pregnancy accommodations varied, with some expressing satisfaction with their accommodations, while others were deeply dissatisfied. Results suggest that blanket policies requiring pregnancy-related reassignment to light-duty does not consistently relieve pregnancy-related discomfort and may not always benefit the female officer. Officers indicated that improved policies may be a solution to retain and recruit female officers.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
