Caroline Proust who plays Police Captain Laure Berthaud in French cop series 'Spiral' (being shown on BBC i-player). Strong yet vulnerable in a delicious way.
If you haven't seen this, treat yourself. Better by far than 'The Wire'.

I totally agree with you! Mariska Hargitay as Detective Olivia Benson on LAW AND ORDER SVU. THE BEST FEMALE COP EVER!!! THE BEST ONE FOR FOURTEEN SEASONS ALREADY!

Julie Stewart as Sgt. Ali McCormick in all 98 episodes of Cold Squad. That's the terrific Canadian cop show Cold Case ripped off. She's super smart, hyper aggressive and not afraid to jump a guy's bones if she takes a liking to him.

Love Olivia on SVU..it's the only Law and Order I watch.
For the older stuff..how can you not mention Cagney and Lacey? Balancing all those problems and still bringing in the bad guys.
Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

I'm torn between Honey West and Olivia Benson.

That Connie Francis as Honey West is a real winner. The Honey West pilot is an episode of Burke's Law.

Honey West was played by Anne FrancisConnie Francis was a singer whose signature hit was "Where the Boys are."

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)

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

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.

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

Never have I seen so much testosterone in a little woman before. She definitely has an overcompensation issue

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!
