<p>The recruitment of female police officers in Chinese societies is experiencing a notable increase. Understanding these officers’ perspectives on work-related stress and work–family conflict is thus vital for advancing knowledge of policing practices in contemporary China and offering insights into police management and practices. Using conservation of resources (COR) theory, this qualitative study investigates self-reported work-to-family and family-to-work conflict among female police officers in three Chinese societies: mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Twenty-eight semi-structured interviews were conducted, transcribed, and analysed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal three primary themes: (a) manifestations of stress, (b) resource loss in work–family conflict, and (c) resource conservation through work, family, and coping strategies. The results of this study bear significant implications for social and organisational policy and practice, informing the development of strategies to mitigate work-related stress in policing, with an emphasis on contextual and gender considerations.</p>
