EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in 1971, two Women Police Constables (WPCs) of the Metropolitan Police, Sandra Kertzen and Lyn Nicholson, proudly pose with their yellow Labrador retrievers, Snoopy and Barry, who were among the first drug-sniffing dogs trained by women officers in London. The image captures a pivotal moment in the history of women's employment and equality in law enforcement. The Women Police Constables, dressed in their double-breasted peaked caps and uniforms designed by Norman Hartnell, exude confidence and determination as they go about their duties. Their smiling faces and the relaxed posture of their dogs reflect the strong bond between the handlers and their animals, essential partners in the fight against illegal drugs. The interior of the room, with its radiator and worn wooden floor, adds to the authenticity of the scene, transporting us back to the 1970s. Sandra and Lyn, with their dedicated canine companions, represent the growing presence and influence of women in the police force during a time when gender roles were being challenged and redefined. This photograph is a testament to the courage and determination of these pioneering women officers, who broke barriers and paved the way for future generations of policewomen. The image serves as a reminder of the significant strides made in women's rights and employment opportunities in Britain during the 1970s, and the crucial role animals play in law enforcement.
