This unique new six-part factual series shows how senior women detectives balance running investigations into serious and sometimes disturbing crimes with often complex personal and family lives.

Filmed over a year unprecedented access to officers from the Hertfordshire force at home and at work, Married To The Job introduces us to Detective Chief Inspector Julie Wheatley and Detective Inspectors Jo Walker, Kay Lancaster and Lynda Coates. Between them, the four detectives have more than 75 years of police experience and are a rare breed - only one in five senior officers is a woman.

From prisoners who abscond to ruthless conmen who prey on the elderly, and from prolific burglars to cases of child abuse, this series vividly depicts how the detectives face some of the most challenging criminals in Hertfordshire. The detectives are seen at home with their families, and talk openly about the pressures of juggling their personal lives with absorbing investigations, and the emotional impact of dealing with victims of crime.
