— Sally O'Neil

Sally O'Neil was a Policewoman in New York City, in the early 1940s.

History

In 1940 in New York City, Sally O'Neil became a police officer, like her father, Sgt. O'Neil, and three brothers, Pat, Mike, and Tom O'Neil. At this time, female police officers were extremely rare, almost unheard-of. Sally had a lot to prove, and did so, every day for at least six years. She took chances and she got results; her arrest record was amazing.

Police work in any era is a hazardous business. Miss O'Neil was shot at, and missed, an unknown number of times. She was shot at, and hit, thrice. She shot at, and hit, at least eight felons, none fatally. She did however kill one enemy, hand-to-hand, by pushing a knife-wielding Japanese spy off a building ledge. She has also survived two car crashes, jumped or been thrown off of two speeding passenger trains, and smashed through at least one closed window. And like almost all crime-fighters of her generation, Sally suffered a minimum of ten recorded instances of blunt instrument head trauma.
