Police decoys in Brookyn, 1969: NYC policeman in drag

By Jack Brummet

Back before there were (m)any women officers on the NYPD, they used Patrolman Wm. R. Winter as a decoy to attract muggers and sex offenders. The passers by look just about as skeptical as we are. The caption on back of the morgue photo (not clear if this was internal or if it was actually the text printed in the 'paper) describes him as a "voluptuous broad" and, of course, mentions that he "is married and is the father of one child."
