'A Life's Work' is a new series in which Paddy O'Connell brings together three people, from three different generations, who have dedicated their lives to the same profession.

This first programme features women who have chosen to enter a man's world where they have won the right to face equal danger and equal criticism whilst standing on 'the thin blue line' to defend our rights and our responsibilities.

Today, Paddy is joined by three female police officers whose combined experience covers nearly half a century of change and they talk about how their own personal stories reflect the changes that have affected the community they serve.
