EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Police Constable Eileen Greenwood, a trailblazing woman officer of the Surrey Police Force, proudly donning the new uniform introduced in 1973. The single-breasted jacket, featuring four buttons, marked a significant shift in the force's traditionally male-dominated uniform culture. The hat, a striking black and white peaked cap with a checked design, added an elegant touch to the ensemble. For the first time, trousers were given as an option, as evidenced by PC Greenwood's choice to wear them with her new uniform. This photograph, taken circa 1973, symbolizes the strides made towards gender equality in law enforcement during the 1970s. With a confident smile and a carpet bag in hand, Constable Greenwood embodies the spirit of determination and dedication that characterized women police officers during this transformative period in British history. The checked cap, reminiscent of the iconic kepi of the French police, adds a touch of sophistication to her uniform, further emphasizing the professionalism and capability of women in uniformed employment. This photograph is an essential piece of history, capturing the essence of the working woman's journey towards equal representation in the police force and beyond.
