This photograph captures Inspector Charlotte Grace Dixon, an early woman police officer in the Metropolitan Police Force, making history in the early 1920s. Dixon, who joined the Met in 1920, is seen here donning her smart and distinctive uniform, which includes a Stanley jacket adorned with shiny buttons, a helmet, and a belt with a prominent policewoman's badge. Her uniform signifies her dedication and commitment to serving her community as a police officer during a time when women were just beginning to join the force in larger numbers. The image of Dixon, with her stern yet determined expression, embodies the spirit of equality and the breaking down of gender barriers in the workplace. Her presence in the Metropolitan Police Force paved the way for future generations of women officers, challenging societal norms and expectations. This photograph is a testament to the courage and resilience of Dixon and the other pioneering women who bravely entered the police force during the 1920s. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insight into the history of women in law enforcement and their contributions to society.
