Wide World of Women

Her character's name is Erin Lindsay and also Marina Squerciati is patrol officer Kim Burgess.

Do FBI agents count? If so, Anna Torv as Olivia Dunham in Fringe and Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully from X-files.

Yeah, Anna and Gilly! Also Kyra Sedgwick on The Closer and Tiffani Amber Thiessen on Fastlane. Patti D'Arbanville-Quinn, Lauren Velez and Marisa Ryan on New York Undercover.

No love for Ally Walker (Profiler) or Jill Hennessy (L&O, Crossing Jordan)?

Speaking of NYPD Blue...what about Sherry Stringfield (before she left for ER) and Jacqueline Obradors? There was also Eva Longoria on the ill-fated "Dragnet" revival in 2003; of course, we all know what that will be followed by.

And across the pond, don't forget Helen Mirren (Prime Suspect), who still outshines everybody else at the ripe old age of 70!

Another comedy one-Anne-Marie Martin, Det. Dori Doreau on Sledge Hammer!

Was Jill an Asst D.A. on L&O and a medical examiner on Crossing Jordan? Sherry was a D.A. on NYPD Blue. If we get to include D.A.s, I'll add Markie Post of Night Court and Sharon Lawrence on NYPD Blue. Lea Thompson on some show on Lifetime that lasted 1 season... For The People, thanks IMDB. Maura Tierney on The Whole Truth, Stephanie March on L&O SVU, Julianne Nicholson on Conviction. Many more I'm sure, as they pop up in my "brain"

Rosalyn Sanchez played a cop in a number of series including Without a Trace along with Poppy Montgomery whose also does Unforgettable.

Definitely the Top Lady Cop of modern TV IMO....She was particularly hot in those early SVU episodes in '99-'01 - very perky in those turtleneck sweaters

I'll add Emily Procter & Eva LaRue from CSI Miami - even if they were more Lab Techs w/ guns than actual cops. A lot of folks rip on "Miami" as the worst of the CSI's but it's a guilty pleasure for me as ALL the ladies on the show -good or evil - were hotties

Yeah I had started to watch that or marked it to watch in my Netflix cue...I only saw the pilot but I liked it but never got around to going back to it. Its a lot of tv..that one by itself set in Miami has over 100 episodes! If I do get to go back and watch some more of it I think I will like it overall.

Don't forget Sarah Shahi pretty as all get out and I think she was in a short lived NBC show called "Life". Didn't watch it but kept hearing about it. Think she's a detective in it. Conservative in all pictures I saw but still gorgeous. If you wanna see why I put her on the list though and see some of that body try "Fairly Legal" She's not a cop but an officer of the court...a mediator. She's super leggy in there and in towels, skirts and just mens shirts in some scenes. As a bonus for the eye candy in that show there's also a gorgeous super leggy blonde who wears skirts all the time as well. Also even sexier than that check her out in some seasons of the L word as a lesbian dj. Very hot.

A sample of her fairly legal attire :

Pardon me but i liked Faith on Third Watch she was cute

Daniela Ruah as Kensi Blye on NCIS LA

Anyone catch Ncis last night Bishop was hot in that white sweater

There's a new detective on the "meta human task force" on "The Flash", played by Shantel VanSanten. Can't believe it took me this long to remember Kathryn Morris from "Cold Case"! Also, Kelli Giddish on L&O SVU and "Chase". Jennifer Beals on "The Chicago Code". Erin Cummings as the M.E. on "Detroit 187". Deborah Messing on "Mysteries Of Laura".
If FBI agents count, AJ Cook on "Criminal Minds". How 'bout CIA agents? Piper Perabo on "Covert Affairs".

I'm going with Elisabeth Shue's Julie Finlay from CSI

Rose McIver as the Medical Examiner / brain eating psychic detective Olivia Moore on iZombie.
