This year the New Zealand police force is 100 years old. As part of celebrations to mark the occasion, the Police Department has commissioned a profusely illustrated history of the force. The book is “In the Line of Duty,” by Murray Hill (Endeavour Press, P.O. Box 31148, Milford, Auckland, 88pp, $18.95.) These illustrations show: (Above) The first eight policewomen in New Zealand, in their uniforms in December, 1952, with their uniform duty instructor, Sergeant George Claridge; and (left) John Nash, of Nelson, the man who was given No. 1 in the new staff list of 1886 when the police organisation was set up throughout the country. The book illustrates and describes a wide range of police activities.
