Female Forces

Beauty takes center stage as Betsy and Officer Julie Lardino convince Officer Tracy Nance to undergo a head-to-toe makeover and an all-out pamper day for the department. In the midst of it all, the ladies still manage to keep the city safe with several DUI arrests and traffic calls -- including a two-car collision that Sgt. Lisa Burghardt responds to that involves two neighbors!

We meet rookie officer Sara Rolfe as she completes her police training and gets a surprise visit from Betsy and Julie when they drop by the academy to check on her progress. Sara then gets a taste of "real" police work when she goes on several patrol shifts with female officers that put her training to the test. Will she pass with flying colors or fail in the face of her female peers?

The ladies of Naperville PD show just how tough they are as they combat out of control suspects including a kid who tries to charge one of the officers and a mother with a violent daughter seeking advice.

Betsy responds to a horrific accident between a mail carrier and a tree and Officer Julie Lardino sweats bullets during her rifle recertification test. The ladies are all aglow when they get new bulletproof vests that are specially formatted for the female physique. Look out Madonna--here come the ladies of Naperville with their own bullet bra vests!

Our fearless group of female enforcers come face-to-face with perpetrators of all persuasions including a drunk male suspect who gets combative with Sgt. Lisa Burghardt and a public indecency suspect that Officer Dawn Yorke encounters at the public library.

Suspects and female officers in this episode shed plenty of tears. First, Officer Stacy Malec stops a young girl for speeding who tries to use tears to get out of a ticket. Betsy is reduced to tears during the emotional escort of an Iraq War veteran who has returned home. And, Officer Tracy Nance goes head-to-head in a Tae Kwon Do martial arts competition that brings her to tears after she loses to a much younger opponent.
