EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the spirit of determination and dedication among the Women Staff Officers of the Metropolitan Police in London during the late 1910s. The women in this image, including Chief Inspector D Meeson Coates, Miss St John Partridge, Chief Officer M Damer Dawson, Chief Superintendent Ms Allen, and Principal of the Clerical Department B Goldingham, are dressed in their uniforms, each wearing distinctive hats that define their ranks and roles within the force. The Women Police Officers, or WPCs, joined the Metropolitan Police in 1914, initially to perform clerical and support duties. By the late 1910s, they began to take on more active roles in the force. The women in this photograph, with their stern expressions and poised postures, embody the growing sense of equality and professionalism that characterized the Women Staff Officers during this period. The hats in the photograph offer a glimpse into the diverse range of headgear worn by the women officers. Some wear brimmed hats, while others sport peaked caps. Each hat bears the distinctive Metropolitan Police badge, symbolizing the women's commitment to their service and their place within the force. This photograph is a testament to the history of women in the Metropolitan Police and their contributions to the force during a time of significant change and expansion. It serves as a reminder of the important role that women have played in law enforcement and their ongoing efforts to serve and protect their communities.
