Excerpt from Douglas "20" Police Journal, Vol. 1: November, 1922 October, 1923 And may I be permitted to pause for a moment to refer to that branch of the police administra tion which has rendered such splendid and effec tive service in connection with the phase of po lice activity, the personnel of which is composed of women protective officers. I am glad to be able to state that San Francisco was one of the few cities that pioneered the movement, which has brought into existence, women police officials. At an early date, it recognized that certain classes of female delinquency could be better handled and cared for by women. It is truly said that the love that a mother has for her child is the greatest of all human affections. This love is instinctive with women. Man knows but little about it. Into the police service, those splendid women have brought this motherly love and mother sympathy, counsel and advice, through which many young girls, without publicity, has been saved to herself, her family and the community. The character of these women, as well as of their service is best exemplified in the person of Mrs. Van Winkle, the president of the Woman's Auxiliary Association, whose experience, charac ter and rare attainments have made her illustrious in the police world.
