The series was Juliet Bravo and was centred on an inspector not a chief constable or acting chief constable

moats brother is getting in on the action i see.Despite not talking to his brother for 7 years he is now running around screaming foul play because he says the tazar used on Moat cause his muscle in his finger to spazsm making Moat pull the trigger on teh gun he was holding to his head.Mind you the guys a tax officer so what you exect.It sounds liek somones after a big payout from the police and i agree the police should compensate Moats brother and offer him a bullet to the head as well if he misses his brother that much

Probably Gazza. Did he leave the fishing rod and chicken as well?

Wynn Darwin WAS an inspector when I served with her. Last I heard before I retired was that she had risen to Superintendent and was serving in the Ribble Valley. Despite being female, she was recognised as bein a copper's copper by all who knew her.

Amazing how quickly the cockroaches pop out of the woodpile when the word 'compensation' is deciphered for them!

I'm afraid we're going to have to take you off the case, for keeping sloppy notes.

Her name was Wynne Darwin.

A female officer taking charge of a police station? It seems odd now that such an issue would be thought worthy of its own TV series – but it was in the 1980s. Fascinating fact: The series was based on the real-life experiences of Wynne Darwin, a female inspector with the Lancashire police.

I must admit to thinking that when I heard they'd used tazers. When X thousand volts are hurtling through your system it'd be pretty hard not to have excessive involuntary spasms, so if you're holding a gun at the time, the outcome certainly wouldn't be too healthy.
