Plymouth first policewoman to be on point duty is 25-year-old Miss Iris Martin, seen here on duty at Plymouth City's Hyde Park Corner as she directed children safely across the street. The introduction of t policewomen to point duty by the Plymouth Authority is by way of an experiment, so that policemen may be diverted to other duties. From reports of Miss Martin's calm handling of the bustling traffic, the experiment looks like being a success. 7 December 1946
