After watching, "Happy Valley", i'd have to say Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire) is my favourite lead character, closely followed by Jane Tennyson,(Helen Mirren). Both are feisty, gutsy women..Also have a soft spot for Angie Dickinson, (policewoman)..( first girl crush, lol)back in the day

I'm sure my parents would go with the majority and say 'Emma Peel' - but for me it's Pepper Anderson by all means!

How about Dee-Dee McCall from Hunter?
And if anyone saw the unaired pilot for Nikki & Norah.. they were both great in that and since the pilot was passed on, it's becoming a web series called the The N&N Files

Technically, this is a TV cop/P.I. message board not a movie board. However, you have reminded me of the excellent work of Tyne Daly & Sharon Gless on the long running TV police drama "Cagney & Lacy". Thanks!

I'm definitely gonna go with Mary Shannon from In Plain Site. She's tough, sassy, sarcastic, and really really hot.

Rookie Blue's Andy as for a current cop show [not incl NCIS]; Ziva of NCIS otherwise.
Cagney and Lacy as a non-active show.

Another vote for Emma Peel, although I also like Brenda in The Closer (and Kyra Sedgwick won the Emmy).

Grace Anadarco, Holly Hunters character on Saving Grace. I love her realism and how much of her character was/is still in all of us wild ones! (or aging wild ones)
