The Officer Behind Prime Suspect

A Leicestershire woman, who inspired a top TV police drama, was at Leicestershire Police HQ yesterday to mark 100 years of women policing:

She's been telling Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Leicester's Bridget Blair about how she loved being a Leicestershire officer, but it wasn't easy being a top cop in the Met.
