Ontario Provincial Policewomen will perform the same type of function as their male count- erparts. They will have the same authority. Most of the qualifications demanded of a female recruit will be similar to the present standards applied to a male recruit--Canadian citizen or British Subject; age 2I-35; good health; character; Grade I2 education. The main difference will be in the minimum height demanded -- 5'4" (without shoes), and the minimum weight--IIO0 lbs. Their salary and benefits will conform ex- actly to those rates applicable to male mem- bers of the force. They will receive initial training with a regular recruit class at the O.P.P. training and development centre. This will include emphasis on self-defence. After gaining practical field experience they will attend the Ontario Police College at Aylmer for two additional six-week training periods. Again they will be part of a normal recruit class working with policemen and poli- cewomen from various forces throughout the province. The O0.P.P., after 65 years of totally male membership, welcomes the opportunity to accept women into the mainstream of the force. It is expected they will be given the assistance and respect which is currently given to the male members of the force. Any person who is interested in finding a career within the structure of the 0.P.P. is asked to contact her nearest O.P.P.
