Metropolitan Police officers inside a car
Three Metropolitan Police officers inside a car. The man in the back is wearing headphones, and is making notes. By this time some cars were fitted with two-way radio transmission equipment. The transmitter, with a power of 100 watts, was installed in the luggage boot and remotely controlled from the operating position in the rear near-side seat. The morse key and receiver were fitted into the panel by the operators side. The aerial was concealed in the roof, and consisted of strands of insulated wire. Date: 1936

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, three Metropolitan Police officers are seen intently engaged in their duties from the interior of a car, dated 1936. The innovation of two-way radio transmission equipment had revolutionized police communication, enabling officers to receive and send messages instantaneously from their vehicles. The man in the back seat is deeply focused on making notes, his expression serious and determined. He wears headphones, connected to the radio transmission system, which was becoming increasingly essential for effective policing. The transmitter, with a powerful output of 100 watts, was discreetly installed in the luggage boot and controlled from the operating position in the rear near-side seat. The morse key and receiver were fitted into the panel by the operator's side. The aerial, a concealed array of insulated wires, was located in the car's roof. This image captures the essence of the early days of police communication technology, a time when the Metropolitan Police force was embracing the latest innovations to enhance their ability to protect and serve the public. The officers' focused expressions and attentiveness underscore the importance of their work and the dedication required to maintain law and order. The car, with its advanced communication equipment, served as a mobile command center, enabling officers to respond more effectively to incidents and keep abreast of developing situations in real-time.
