1985 Female Inspector
When Angela Harwood QSM, was promoted to the rank of Inspector in 1985, she wore one of the most unique items of headgear in the New Zealand Police at the time.
The design was based on the white, flat topped policewoman’s cap shown previously, but was all blue with braided peak inserted at the front. Whilst female commissioned officers were not unusual, during this period she was one of just a very few in the service. Photograph courtesy of the NZ Police.
