Since 1921, women of the OPP have played a vital role in shaping the organization.
This year, the Ontario Provincial Police commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Women in Uniform, recognizing that true bravery walks side by side with equality.
A commemorative mural was unveiled at the OPP Headquarters in Orillia on October 30.
Prior to 1974, women were not allowed to serve as uniform members in the organization, only being permitted to hold civilian roles such as receptionists or data entry clerks.
