Group of women police recruits at Lyttelton Police Training School 1953-54, with instructor Sergeant E. J. G. (Ted) Hotham. NZ Police Centennial Museum. The women's uniform, except for colour, closely resembles that of the NZ Women's Auxiliary Army Corps. Tunics of women and commissioned officers were belted; those of male constables and NCOs were not. The register number has moved to the left side of the collar (see following entry). See Insignia section for practice relating to chevrons during the 1950s and 1960s. Men wore a blue-grey shirt and women a white one (see below NZ Police Gazette 11 February 1959).
