I remember Gwennie Griffin well – her statements from girls who had under-age sex were quite unique. Because of the content of her statements, Gwennie was affectionately known as wet and sticky.
In relation to police women, keep in mind that up until the mid 1960s, women police were special constables.
In the mid 60s all serving members of the Women Police were sworn in as members of the New South Wales Police Force at a special parade.
The sergeant conducting that parade was none other than Roy McCallum Shiels.

After Gwens passing, she bequeathed $1000 or more to Vision Australia.

Having searched Trove and various other sources, I can find no further information on this woman, her life or career.

Any information would be appreciated.
