Sexy Sgt. Pepper Anderson was an undercover agent for
the criminal conspiracy department of the Los Angeles
Police Department. Working on a vice-squad team that
included detectives Joe Styles and Pete Royster, two
other undercover cops, she was called on to pose as
everything from a prostitute to a gangster's girlfriend.
The team reported directly to Lt. Bill Crowley, who
was the coordinator of its operations. Although not
seen on a regular basis, Pepper's autistic younger
sister Cherl, was visited occasionally at the Austin
School for the Handicapped during the first season.
Pepper was a sensual, brassy, compassionate, sincere,
and beautiful divorcee. She resided at 102 Crestview
Drive. Stories, which were adult and open minded
about sex and marriage, realistically depicted the
life of a police woman. The pilot for Police Woman
aired as an episode of Police Story titled "The Gamble."
