Original Toronto Star caption: Real police work is what Joan Loftus, one of the first 10 policewomen hired so far by the Ontario Provincial Police, wants in her new job. A secretary at the OPP for eight years, she's looking forward to wearing a uniform and performing constable's duties. It doesn't bother her that she'll have to carry a gun.
