EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, a group of CID (Criminal Investigation Department) officers proudly sit together in their Sunday best attire, leaving behind their disguises as dockworkers. The image, taken circa 1911, showcases the officers' transformation from undercover detectives to distinguished gentlemen. The CID officers, who were previously seen in disguise among the dockers in another picture in this set, have now shed their fake hands, eye-patches, and other disguises. They don their finest suits, complete with collared shirts, ties, and stylish hats. The officers' proud posture and polished appearance convey a sense of accomplishment and professionalism. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of British law enforcement during the early 20th century. At the time, the use of undercover officers was a common tactic employed by the police to gather intelligence and apprehend criminals. The officers' Sunday best attire in this photograph underscores the dual nature of their work, highlighting the contrast between their disguises and their true identities. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history of the CID and its role in shaping the modern police force. The CID was established in 1913, making this photograph an important historical record of the organization's early days. Overall, this photograph is a captivating representation of the men behind the badges, showcasing their dedication to their work and their commitment to upholding the law.
