A Leicestershire woman, who inspired a top TV police drama, was at Leicestershire Police HQ yesterday to mark 100 years of women policing: Jackie Malton was the inspiration for Helen Mirren's DCI Tennyson character in Prime Suspect. She's been telling Âé¶¹Éç Radio Leicester's Bridget Blair about how she loved being a Leicestershire officer, but it wasn't easy being a top cop in the Met.
