Navy Preps Subs for First Female Officers - Page 4

I learned an opinion changing lesson over ten years ago...was called to a 'disturbance' in a bar in Newcastle City Centre, my oppo was a Woman PC about 5'2", very petite and wouldn't say "boo" to a mouse or so I thought.

As I pulled up outside one window was broken and drinkers were spilling out onto the pavemenent so I told my oppo to wait in the car (big mistake).

Upon entering I saw two large male thugs knocking seven kinds out of each other, they saw me approach and disengaged from one another and bestowed upon me their joint attention.

Instead of drawing my baton I foolishly (hindsight is a wonderful thing) reached for my radio to summon back up...next thing I knew the radio was knocked out of my hand and I found myself pinned to the wall by the two of them.

After what seemed like an eternity one of the thugs suddenly fell to the floor in a heap then a second or two later the other one followed suit, only then did I realise why...there was a small petite brunette about 5' 2" tall standing with a smug look right across her face and a baton in her hand.

I never belly-ached about sharing a vehicle with a female colleague again.
