Summary
COI synopsis: This year is the 150th anniversary of the Metropolitan Police, but it’s only 60 years since women police made their appearance in London. Reporter Vicki Luke meets some modern members of the "Fair Cops" and has a go at their training course - and finds it’s as tough as that of any male British Bobby.
