Women have been part of the police service for over 50 years, but uniforms items mostly remain gender-blind. As more women and others with 'non-standard bodies' enter public service, it is time for our institutions to catch up

The shoes were not the only issue. The body protector suit — to be worn during riot-control duties — was made in one size, intended for the average Caucasian male.

Women have been part of the police service for over 50 years, but uniforms items mostly remain gender-blind. We are often celebrated for having “broken the mould”, yet the mould for some of our shoes does not even exist. As more women and others with non-standard bodies enter public service, it is time for our institutions to catch up. We don’t want to think about our shoes; we just want to put our best foot forward.
