Leonard Freed captured the essence of a female police officer in New York City in 1979. The picture was shot with a short depth of field that makes the lady sharply focused while the male officers in the background vague. As law enforcement was often considered as the area full of the muscular powers, this picture should be one of the few photos of females in such fields. The emphasizes female’s power with her beautiful and confident smile on her face.
