EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the late 1960s, a determined and poised Woman Police Officer (WPC) stands outside a rather run-down Victorian house, guarding the entrance for the safety and wellbeing of its inhabitants. The WPC, dressed in the new Norman Hartnell uniform introduced by the Metropolitan Police in 1968, exudes a sense of authority and professionalism. Her peaked cap sits squarely on her head, and her hand rests on the handle of her handbag, ready for action. The two children, a girl and a boy, peek curiously from behind the wrought iron railings of the house's bay window, their expressions filled with a mix of fascination and apprehension. The scene speaks to the changing role of women in British society during the 1960s, as they began to assert their rights to employment and equal opportunities, including in the traditionally male-dominated field of law enforcement. The image also captures the contrast between the modern WPC and the old, run-down house, highlighting the progress and transformation taking place in both the police force and the community. The steps leading up to the house's entrance add a sense of height and importance to the scene, while the children's presence adds a touch of innocence and vulnerability, emphasizing the importance of the WPC's duty to protect and serve. Overall, this photograph is a powerful reminder of the strides made towards gender equality in the workplace and the ongoing commitment to community safety during a pivotal time in British history.
