Two women police officers in updated uniform, London

Two women police officers (Carol Price and Lesley Cosburn) posing in the updated uniform introduced in 1977, with a range of mix and match options, including an overcoat with optional shoulder cape as seen on the left. 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
