Thus it is that Kathy
Fitzpatrick, 26. is out daily on
patrol in Boston's7th District
Thus it is too that, though she
wears a badge and a gun like
any other police officer, she
continues to be as much a
controversy as a cop. At 5 feet
and 100 pounds, the question
nevergoes out of style: "What
happens when some 260
pound killer comes charging
from a room in your direc-
tion?"
For her part. Officer
Fitzpatrick answers the ques-

Actually, Officer

Beantown; old ways pass
slowly and Boston police offi-
cials still will not allow
women on the beat after
dark
And so it is, frankly, that
she is still after two years just
a rank rookie Her district is
a safe one, her duties consist
mostly of driving around
issuing parking summons,
her male partners watch
over her with a deference
they would scarce show to
other males. In a sense this is
understandable; Boston is
still in the experimental
stage with policewomen and
it would not be wise, as one
officer says, "to throw them
in without a lifeline".
But if minimizing Officer
Fitzpatrick’s responsibilities
is understandable, it is also a
waste The woman is better
educated than 90 per cent of
the force (Masters degree in
Education) and she is at least
as thoroughly trained in
police science as most
Though she does not criticize
patrol duly herself, she has to
wonder if she couldn’t be put
to better use "I do some un
dercover work and it's

we shouldn't patrol — but if
we can be more helpful some-
place else, well

Lumping policemen and
policewomen together on the
same jobs may satisfy the
Equal Opportunities Act, but
after two years the novelty of
the situation has definitely
worn thin and Kathy

has decided that more im-

better satisfy the primary j
obligation of police depart

BOSTON — (NEA) — When
' she motors by in the squad
car, children still snicker and
point fingers. When she's on
an assistance call, working
men still watch their
language in her presence.
And when she stops at the
station house for lunch, the
back-room conversation still
, turns from talk of perpetra-
tors to such things as pan-
tyhose — "Oh. Kathy's okay;
except she’s the only cop we
got who is worried about runs
in her stockings."
After nearly two years on
the force. Boston patrolwo-
1 man Kathy Fitzpatrick is still
a novelty. Never mind what
the 1972 Equal Opportunities
Act says, she is still out of
place. They dress her in a size
8 uniform, give her a petite
version of a nightstick. but
many Bostonians - includ-
ing some diehard policemen
- remain bemused at the
sight of eyeshadow on the
beat.
Normally, the amusement
is sportive A feminist won-
ders if Officer Fitzpatrick
"goes to the bathroom stand-
ing up." When she tells a
’ fellow cop she is going to
have her picture taken, the
male calls for a wide-angle
lens.
But occasionally, usually
privately, the jokes about of-
ficer Fitzpatrick are not so
funny. Though uniformed
policewomen are becoming
