Breaking the Glass Ceiling

In celebration of women in the police service, the South Wales Police Heritage Centre welcomes you to this virtual photography exhibition. The exhibit honours the women who shape our organisation at present, and those who have paved the way for gender equality throughout our force’s history.

The inspirational women featured in this exhibition come from a range of backgrounds and have undertaken different roles, and responsibilities within South Wales Police and its predecessor forces.

While all the women featured here have served throughout south Wales, each of their stories and journeys through life are unique. This exhibition acknowledges the journeys of those women and shines a spotlight on the challenges they faced along the way.
