Ladies and Gentlemen...The Penguins! by Ivor Davis

Ladies and Gentlemen...The Penguins! by Ivor Davis

With relatively little worldly experience, this young lady yearned to be a detective, perhaps resulting, at a very young age, from listening to Dick Barton - Special Agent. In her imagination, she put together a scenario of how this would evolve and how her future could spread out before her.In 1963, having reached the statutory age of 22 years, and passing her entrance examination, she was sent to Ryton-on-Dunsmore for three months' training, then posted to a Home Counties Constabulary. However, she quickly learned that female officers were there to deal with women and children and 'fill in' when and where required. Meals and coffee breaks were to be taken in their office, so there would be no social fraternising with male officers. Fearing the dream was beginning to slide by, she persevered, and attitudes gradually changed. Finally, she was able to become more involved in all aspects of police investigations.

Ivor Davis has contributed to the London Daily Express, the Times of London, the New York Times Syndicate, and Los Angeles Magazine, among other publications, on film and medicine.
