http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4514234/Karen-Gale-sex-change-cop-wants-job-back-with-Met-police.htmlA FORMER cop who was made to quit the force after announcing he would undergo a sex change is hoping to return to the beat — as a POLICEWOMAN.
Karen Gale, 52 — formerly called Keith — was filmed having surgery as part of the Channel 4 series My Transsexual Summer.
[...]
Karen was a constable in Romford for four years when her wife came home and found her dressed in women's clothes.
After confessing her urge to live as a woman, Karen's police bosses were adamant she had to leave. She had her surgery on the NHS last August.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2196311/Former-police-officer-set-return-force-police-WOMAN-undergoing-sex-change-op.htmlA former police officer forced out of the job 27 years ago because he wanted a sex change is set to return to frontline duties as a woman.
Karen Gale, whose two-a-half-hour operation was controversially broadcast on television last year, has applied to be a special constable and return to the Metropolitan Police.
The 53-year-old, previously known as Keith, worked as a PC with the Met between 1981 and 1985 before being forced to resign when he told his inspector he wanted to start treatment for gender change.
