Police Legacy – 16 October 2019
Yesterday we played host to a meeting of the Retired Police Association, and had the pleasure of being introduced to Inspector Gwen Martin (retd), a trailblazing policewoman who joined the NSW Police Force in 1960 – one of three women in a class of ninety.
She’s been retired for nearly thirty years now, but has many fond and colourful memories of her time in the Force (some of which we couldn’t possibly repeat in a public forum ????????)
Gwen worked in many different capacities – everything from traffic control to the drug squad – before undertaking the Detectives’ Training Course in 1971, finishing 4th in the class.
From there she moved to Parramatta, working her way up through the ranks before becoming the first female member of the Police Association to be elected to the Executive, and eventually attaining the rank of Inspector at the Police Internal Affairs Branch, remaining there until her retirement in 1990.
Gwen, we salute you, and the example you have given for so many young women joining the NSW Police Force!

POLICEWOMEN LEAVE THE FORCE TO WED
FIVE of the NSW’s force of 14 women police have resigned to get married this year.
One policewoman has been married and four others have become engaged since January.
A senior police officer said: “These marriages are smashing our organisation of women police.
“Wedding bells are beginning to ring like an alarm clock around Police Headquarters.”
Amy Millgate, first uniformed policewoman appointed, said: — “You can’t arrest love, nor can you imprison affection. Right qualities “Anyhow, my Bruce ( First-class Constable Bruce Taylor ) says I would not have been appointed if I had not had a sense of responsibility, with tact, understanding and other qualities needed for successful marriage.
“When a fellow talks like that — well, that’s a proposal.”
Other uniformed police women said that there would he more marriages if it were not for the housing shortage.
Here is a record of how marriage is shattering the women’s police force: — Lorna Fraser now married to Detective Harry North, of Wollongong.
Yvonne Robertson ( Beamish Street crossing, Campsie ) to be married to Plain-clothes Constable Harry Tupman, of Newtown, on November 12.
Nancy Baber ( Cleveland Street School ) to be married to Constable Pat Smith, of Regent Street station, on November 19.
Eva Boyd ( Sydney Girls’ High School ) to be married to Constable Bill Dickson, of Darlinghurst division, in December.
Amy Millgate ( Leichhardt Public School ) to be married to First-class Constable Bruce Taylor, of Central prosecuting staff, early next year.
Main qualifications for a uniformed policewoman are: 25 years of age or over; 5ft 6in; Intermediate Certificate.

2020: Yvonne TUPMAN and Assistant Commissioner Karen WEBB.
Last week, Assistant Commissioner Karen Webb APM met with Mrs Yvonne Tupman, a former NSW Police officer who recently turned 100 years old.
Assistant Commissioner Webb is the most senior serving policewoman currently within the NSW Police Force, the same police force that Mrs Tupman joined 75 years ago, in 1945.
They shared memories across many generations of policing, stories of bravery, resilience, kindness and spirit. Mrs Tupman fondly remembers her time as a police officer, recounting, ‘I enjoyed every moment. I went to the schools and taught the children about stranger danger, and also directed traffic.’
Assistant Commissioner Webb said, ‘It’s not lost on me the sacrifices and challenges that my predecessors, like Mrs Tupman endured in the past, in building the foundations for policewomen today. I am extremely honoured, along with my senior colleagues to lead the next generation of policewomen across New South Wales.’
NSW Police Force’s first policewoman Yvonne Tupman turns 100

SHE MAY be the most senior serving policewoman currently in the NSW Police Force, but Assistant Commissioner Karen Webb still had some tips to pick up when she caught up with trailblazing centenarian Yvonne Tupman.
Mrs Tupman, who turned 100 last month, was one of the state’s first female police officers, donning the uniform 75 years ago in 1945.
Assistant Commissioner Webb visited the Mrs Tupman at her home for coffee and cake to congratulate her on turning 100 and to hear about the pioneering route she carved as one of the first policewomen in the state.
‘It’s not lost of me the sacrifices and challenges that my predecessors, like Mrs Tupman endured in the past, in building the foundations for policewomen today,” said Assistant Commissioner Webb, who earlier this year became the state’s first female Traffic and Highway Commander.
Born in Orange in 1920, Mrs Tupman (nee Robertson) was 25-years-old and fresh out of the army when she joined.
Along with her female colleagues, Mrs Tupman wasn’t allowed to ride in the police cars or to be involved in more serious police work.
The one duty the women were allowed to perform – directing traffic – sparked great controversy because it was thought the female officers would distract motorists and cause accidents.
She along with just two other policewomen were the first female officers in the state to be tasked with controlling traffic on Sydney’s busy streets, sometimes having to deal with drivers who were reluctant to take instruction from women in uniforms.
Other duties assigned to the first policewomen included attending schools to warn children about speaking to strangers and escorting children to court for various reasons.
“Women were never included in murder (cases), unless they took you along and you took notes (for the male officers),” she told the Central Western Daily.
Stationed first at Newtown in Sydney’s inner-west, Mrs Tupman then returned to the Central West to work at Bathurst station.
It was around this time that she met and hit it off with fellow officer, Harry Tupman. When the two were married, Mrs Tupman was forced to resign from the police force. Mr Tupman went on to become a celebrated detective.
“They didn’t want to once you got married,” she explained. “I had my daughters, that was the most important thing in my life”.
Joining the NSW Police Force in 1987, Assistant Commissioner Webb began her career at Castle Hill Police Station. She served as chair of the 100 years of Women in Policing Committee and was integral in its commemoration celebrations in 2015.
Burwood Police Area Command 4 October 2022 Today we celebrated Yvonne Tupman’s 102nd Birthday at Drummoyne Presbyterian Homes with her family. Yvonne was one of the first females to serve and wear the NSW Police Force uniform. We at Burwood Police Area Command are very proud of her and thank her for her service. A special thank you to Drummoyne Public School for making birthday cards for Yvonne.
One of NSW Police’s first women officers shares her memories of time on the force
Trailblazing female cop Yvonne Tupman joined NSW Police 75 years ago, when life on the force was very different for a woman. Despite being limited to duties such as note-taking and traffic directing, Mrs Tupman loved her time on the beat.
Yvonne Tupman, who recently turned 100 years old, was one of the first women in policing in NSW. She had to retire from the Police Force once she married. She is pictured with her daughters Lyn and Robyn. Picture: Tim Hunter
Yvonne Tupman is celebrating a double milestone — 100 years of age and 75 years since she was one of the first women to join the NSW Police.
But the work Mrs Tupman was allowed to do when she joined the force in 1945 — aged just 25 and fresh out of army service — was very different to what women today can expect.

Mrs Tupman (front left) with nine other trailblazing women in the NSW Police Service in 1945.
For a start, women police officers were forbidden to investigate criminal cases, with their duties generally limited to traffic direction, advising children of the dangers of speaking to strangers, and “taking notes”.
“Something like covering a murder case was forbidden,” said Mrs Tupman’s daughter Robyn, who is a District Court judge.
“I remember asking mum why she joined the force. I assumed it was to cover serious trials. But she said: ‘No, we weren’t allowed’. Women police were only allowed to accompany the male officers and possibly take notes.
“They were sometimes allowed to direct traffic which, in once case, actually made the papers because of the fact that two women were able to do so without causing an accident.
“That was actually the story. The fact that one male driver remarked that they didn’t tangle the traffic.
“It’s so ridiculous it really makes you giggle.”
Mrs Tupman, aged 23, when she joined the Australian Women’s Army Service.
Despite the limit on the duties they were permitted to carry out, Mrs Tupman would begin an impressive career, starting in Newtown in Sydney’s inner west before taking up a post at Bathurst.
However, it was there she would meet her eventual husband Harry and, as was the protocol with women officers, she was forced to retire.
In a video interview she gave in 2019, Mrs Tupman recalls the sadness of having to abandon her career because she had chosen to wed.
“My mother always said that the police force gave her an enormous sense of self-esteem and I know she enjoyed it very much. Which made retiring so difficult for her,” her daughter said.
However, her brief career would have a profound effect on her daughters Robyn and Lyn, as well as on the lives of her grandchildren.
Robyn Tupman was recently honoured as a life member of the Women’s Lawyers’ Association of NSW and assists the Women Barristers Forum.
Her sister Lyn is an accomplished special needs teacher.

Special Constables Sue Elliott and Vira Jenkins make the acquaintance of some of the ‘props’ they will use daring their lectures to school children.
Newcastle Sun (NSW : 1918 – 1954),
Tuesday 4 November 1952, page 10
” Women In Blue ” to Lecture In Schools
Two young women who will soon be familiar figures to all school children in the district are Special Constables Vira Jenkins and Sue Elliott.
Special Constables Sue Elliott and Vira Jenkins make the acquaintance of some of the ‘props’ they will use daring their lectures to school children. The puppets include a policeman, a small girl and a villain. Posters, cut-out paper figures and miniature road signals are also part of their equipment.
They started work yesterday with the Newcastle school lecturing section of the police force and will assist Constables D. Pike and R. Mann in covering the 266 schools in the district.
While on duty the women wear the navy uniform and wide – brimmed hat designed for women police. They will travel to schools by bus or in the utility belonging to the section. Both are from Newcastle.
Miss Jenkins, who was a nurse before she joined the police force six years ago, will be living at home for the first time for years. She has been four years with the school lecturing section in Sydney.
Mrs. Elliott is a policeman’s widow. She joined up only two months ago and has been in Sydney to train for the work.
With her six-year-old son, she is now living at Lambton.
Traffic Duty
As well as lecturing at schools on road safety, snake bite, fire hazards ” and anything else affecting the safety of children, ” Miss Jenkins said, they will also do traffic duty at school crossings. ”
As soon as we have learnt our lines, we will ‘use puppets in our lectures, ” she said. ” We have to rig up a special stage and dress the puppets.
They have been used now in Sydney for some time and are immensely popular with the kiddies. ”
Miss Jenkins said there were now 36 women in the N.S.W. Police Force, 18 in uniform and 18 in plain clothes. This was the maximum number allowed and had been specified by an Act of Parliament.
ON MONDAY Constables D. Pike and R. Mann, of the Road Safety Control branch, gave a demonstration at Mayfield West School and Special Constables Vira Jenkins and Sue Elliott, who accompanied them, concentrated on the infants’ department where the children were taught road safety by means of nursery rhymes and poems.
The balance of the results of the 1935 final examinations of the Technical Education Branch were made available to-day.
The letters, “A,” “B,” and “C” indicate the grade of pass in each subject. Then each subject. The letter “P” indicates a pass in early stages of subjects where the results are not graded. The passes are not given in order of merit. In the trades courses the pass shown is the grade award for all subjects embraced in the course.
Enrolments for the 1936 session will be accepted as from February 17.
Successful Newcastle District Pupils in Primary Final Examination
QUALIFIED FOR PROMOTION TO HIGHER SCHOOLS
OFFICIAL LISTS ISSUED HIGH PERCENTAGE OF PASSES
The result of the Primary Schools’ final examination issued to-day disclosed that the percentage of passes secured this year is very high.
DISAPPOINTMENT was expressed by some of the school teachers that children who passed very high in every subject but did not secure the necessary percentage of points in arithmetic failed to secure a pass.
The results of the bursary examination will not be made available for some time.
