Daring to explore topics not often dealt with on TV, Police Woman features Sgt. Suzanne “Pepper” Anderson, an undercover cop who goes where few of her colleagues would venture. And though her assignments call on her to be tough and brassy, Pepper’s sincerity and compassion are just as important to her success. With her partner, Sgt. Bill Crowley, and detectives Royster and Styles, Pepper assumes a variety of undercover roles including member of a pornography ring, drug-smuggling flight attendant, lesbian prison inmate, and high school gym teacher. Police Woman takes an unflinching look at the mean streets of big city living as it confronts the problems of the criminal justice system.
