EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a determined woman police officer stands confidently by the side of her marked police car in the quaint town of Egham, Surrey, circa late 1970s. The officer, dressed in the iconic Surrey police uniform introduced in 1973, wears a peaked cap with a checkered design and a cravat, which was added to the uniform in 1977. With one hand on her hip and the other cradling a handheld radio to her ear, she appears focused and engaged in her duties as a mobile officer. The scene exudes an air of authenticity, with the backdrop of shops and buildings along the pavement adding to the sense of a bustling community. A newsagent's shop with the sign "Alfred Marks Newsagent" can be seen in the background, while a cable for the officer's radio trails behind her. The presence of this woman in uniform, standing proudly in the street, is a testament to the strides made towards gender equality in employment during the 1970s. The photograph captures a moment in history when women began to assert their place in traditionally male-dominated professions, such as law enforcement. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the resilience and dedication of women police officers as they went about their duties, paving the way for future generations to continue breaking barriers and defying stereotypes.
