Ten women police officers in updated uniform, London

Ten women police officers posing in the updated uniform introduced in 1977, with a range of mix and match options including long-sleeved or short-sleeved white shirt, trousers, culottes, overcoat with optional shoulder cape, and anorak. The checkered cravat replaced the bow tie. The new style of hat, nicknamed the Butcher Boy, was not popular, and women soon reverted to the earlier Surrey hat. Seen here, from left to right, are: Norma Brown, 2-4 unidentified, Carol Price, Lesley Cosburn, Julia Hawkins, Sylvia Mann, Nicki Benn and Carol Stickling
