Sergeant Pat Fawcett of Rugby Police(right) is setting a trend in her "new look"
Sergeant Pat Fawcett of Rugby Police(right) is setting a trend in her " new look" hat. She is the first woman policewoman in the County force - except for trainees at college - to wear the new hat styled on the lines of the Metropolitan headwear. The new issue will eventually be distributed to other policewomen, including W.P.C. Barbara Saunders, who is pictured wearing the old hat.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1969, we see Sergeant Pat Fawcett of Rugby Police proudly displaying her "new look" hat, setting a trend for policewomen in Warwickshire. As the first woman policewoman in the County force to wear this stylish headwear, she exudes confidence and professionalism. The new hat design takes inspiration from the Metropolitan headwear, adding a touch of modernity to the traditional uniform. Its sleek lines and impeccable craftsmanship make it a symbol of progress and equality within law enforcement. Beside Sergeant Fawcett stands W. P. C. Barbara Saunders, wearing the old-style hat that will soon be replaced by this exciting new addition. The stark contrast between their headgear highlights the transformation taking place within the police force as they embrace change and adapt to meet evolving societal expectations. This photograph captures an important moment in history when women were breaking barriers and challenging gender norms in traditionally male-dominated professions. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality while also acknowledging that there is still work to be done. As time goes on, more policewomen across Warwickshire will receive these fashionable hats, ensuring that every officer feels empowered and proud while serving their community. This image not only celebrates individual achievements but also represents a collective step towards inclusivity within law enforcement agencies.
