Police
Woman
 1 9 7 4 - 1 9 7 8 (USA)
92 x 60 minute episodes
Sexy Sgt Suzanne "Pepper" Anderson was an undercover
vice cop for the Criminal Conspiracy Department of the LAPD.
Working on a team that also included detectives Joe Styles and
Pete Royster, she was called on to pose as everything from a
prostitute to a gangster's girlfriend.
The team reported to Lieutenant Bill Crowley who was the
coordinator of its operations. Although not seen on a regular
basis, Pepper's autistic younger sister Cheryl, was also visited
occasionally at the Austin School for the Handicapped during the
first season.
Pepper was a sensual, brassy, compassionate, sincere, and
beautiful divorcee. She resided at 102 Crestview Drive and was
certainly a woman of her time - very open minded about things such
as marriage and sex.
Angie Dickinson got a taste of the risks involved in real
police work when she visited a Hollywood precinct to take some
publicity photos and departed just before a shootout that took a
man's life. "We had just left that station and were eating
lunch across the street when we heard gunfire," she said.
"That's as close as I want to get to being a real police
woman."
The pilot for Police Woman aired as an episode of Police
Story titled The Gamble.
