Description
English: Group photo of attendees of the first convention of women police officers, Portland, Oregon, from Leslie's Illustrated Weekly, Volume 115, 1912, page 492. Caption: "First Convention of Women Police Officers Ever Held. Group photograph of about thirty women representing actual police department work, moral squads, vice commissions, and probation officers, who met recently at Portland, Oregon. They came from Seattle, Tacoma, North Yakima, Spokane, San Francisco, Oakland and other cities. The Convention was called by Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, of Portland, the first woman police officer in the United States. The problem of the delinquent girl and how to prevent vice in cities were the chief subjects of discussion, though much time was devoted to care of jails and reformatories, duties of police matrons, how to care for Oriental and colored girls and general reform work. Left to right, first row: Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, Superintendent Department of Public Safety for Women, Portland; Mrs. John Gilchrist, member Social Service Board, Oakland, Cal.; Mrs. Winnifred Covell, Public Morals Officer, Tacoma, Wash.; Rev. Dora Reed Barber, Social Committee representative, Forest Grove, Oregon; Mrs. Myrtle D. Johnston, police officer, North Yakima, Wash.; Miss Bessie Wood, member vice commission, Oakland, Cal.; Dr. J. S. Fenton, member vice commission, Oakland; Miss I. A. Green, social worker, Oakland; Mrs. E. W. Giesy, Travelers' Aid Superintendent, San Francisco; Mrs. A. M.
