Oh, to go back when men were men and women were women...
Notice how these ladies have paper targets on the floor so they don't get cold or dirty little knees.
I'm looking for old photos like these of policewomen. If you can send them to Crimefile you'd be a hero to me. These pictures came from reteired Range Master, Sgt Roy Swanson. Roy's still alive and sharp as ever.
An update: Thanks to retired policewoman/police officer, Maggie McCarthy who is pictured here in the class of 18 Feb '74 (she is the 4th policewoman from the right) I can now put names to some of the faces. From right to left, Cindy Kane, Susan Luther and Roseanne Fitzgerald. The other male range officer is the late, Jim Tracy.
Be sure to click on the pictures and fully expand them.
Update: Sgt. Roy Swanson has passed away. RIP Swanny. Your instruction saved lots of lives including mine.

Cream puffs at work!
Anybody able to identify any of them?
The wommen on the department should be able to wear the policewoman uniform for certain assignments outside of patrol. I recall they always looked a lot nicer.
I think the first two are Cindy Gross and Linda Nelson
The old-old Star magazines have some photo's you would probably be interested in. Check with graphic arts, they have some (or used to). Also some oldtimers (retired) have them. God Bless Ret. Sgt. Swanson, has been getting that pension for at least 22 years. I remember being so impressed when he shot the Ace card, and the coin. Many years later he told me the trick.
The girl second from the right is Sue Luther, daughter of deceased homicide Detective Pat Melchiori
Sgt Swanson was the best, a good man who always had a smile.
Sgt. Roy (Swannie) Swanson is alive and well, but living in an assisted living residence. He brags that he has buried his last three doctors, he is still a character. He also called himself P.O.R. (Poor Old Roy) He is a good neighbor and friend. One of the good guys. Oh, he was also photo'd in the Trib Magazine in "68 putting down the riots along 63rd street after M.L.K. was shot. Sorry about Ann Leyborne, never met her but by all accounts she was a a good woman.
I was in this class and have original pictures. Roseanne Fitzgerald is also one of the girls. I was on the other side of Cindy Kane, but not in this picture.
