Female trainees of the Los Angeles Police Department practice firing their newly issued revolvers on March 6, 1948

Didn't know female cops were a thing in 1948, always thought it came much later. Wondering if this photo was mislabeled and it is something else.

I think it's a staged PR photo. No way that they would be that close together if they were firing at targets - which the brass on the table suggests. If it's LA then why are at least four of them in long coats?

LAPD had the Nation's First Police woman

"In 1909, Los Angeles social worker Alice Stebbins Wells petitioned Mayor George Alexander and the City Council, requesting that an ordinance providing for a Los Angeles Policewoman be adopted. Not only was the measure passed, but on September 12, 1910, Mrs. Wells was appointed as the nation's first female policewoman with arrest powers."

By 1980 they just shot themselves, and then took orders for a lot of vests.

Yep, Richard Davis made quite a lot of money travelling the world and shooting himself with a .44 Magnum to demonstrate his Second Chance vests.
