Breaking stereotypes and serving with pride: Meet the incredible policewomen who are rewriting history. From a formidable netball team of seven women officers to their unwavering dedication while on duty, these brave women are paving the way for change. In London during World War II, two fearless policewomen donned gas masks as they fearlessly protected their city. Witnessing their strength in self-defense exercises and attending accidents, a woman police officer's commitment knows no bounds. Adorned in the new Surrey uniform or the iconic Hartnell uniform in London, these trailblazers exude professionalism and style. Sheffield Police witnessed their invaluable contributions in 1972 when equality began to take center stage. Annie Matthews stood tall at Hyde Park, embodying resilience and determination that inspires us all. Kathleen Saville served her country during WWII as she fearlessly patrolled the streets of London. These courageous women continue to empower others through self-defense exercises and proudly wear the new Surrey uniform together - united by a shared mission to protect and serve.
