On September 10, 1968, two female officers at the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department made history when they became the first women in the United States to be given a patrol assignment in the same fashion as their male colleagues. Years later, Sergeant Betty Blankenship's daughter, Robin Tryon would become a police officer with the same department where her mother made history. In this special episode of Icons, Law and Disorder host, Anna Muckenfuss, sits down with Robin Tryon to discuss her both Robin and Betty's careers, Betty's legacy, and what it means to have her story told at the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, D.C.
