Berkshire Constabulary in the 1950s was scarcely a place for women. But WPC Crockford and her team soon changed that. When Gwendoline Crockford began her service in the Berkshire Constabulary, she scarcely believed that she would one day end up chasing a zebra around Cranbourne. But she quickly learned a valuable lesson - life as a Woman Police Constable is never dull. In this nostalgic, tender and honest post-war Britain account, we see a bright, determined woman navigate a man's world while helping as many people as she can.
