| - Detective Inspector Jacqueline "Jackie" Reid (Blythe Duff) is now the longest serving member of the team. Reid made her first appearance in 1990, as a Woman Police Constable in Death Comes Softly, the only time she is seen in uniform. In 1994, Jackie was promoted to Detective Sergeant much to the dismay of Jim Taggart. It the episode Crossing The Line, she revealed she is from Garsden. In The Ends of Justice, she was promoted to Detective Inspector with Jackie feeling she was finally ready. She was trained in self-defence, which is why she defended herself both times when she faced deadly confrontations with two killers. In Penthouse and Pavement in 2003, she caught the person that killed Jason Randall and Debbie Thompson and the killer tried to attack her, but she banged his face against the shutters of a shop repeatedly, leaving him with a bloody nose. Then in "Lifeline" in 2008, the killer broke into Jackie's home unexpectedly when she came home from buying dinner. They discussed the past and why he was after her. He tried to grab her to attack her, but she grabbed his arm, and broke it, leaving him badly injured on the floor, weeping.
