Polly Page joined the A relief as a P.C. near the end of her probation period, transferring from B relief in 1992. She was already familiar with Sun Hill's ground. Polly came from Bermondsey and her dedication was unanswering. A Londoner through and through, she set her sights on tackling the low-life of the metropolis, not on migrating to more parochial climes. Gutsy, sharp, with a keen South London humour, she had few illusions about the job and was eager in all its aspects. Her keenness meant that she sometimes took risks, dived in and got herself hurt. But she wasn't gung-ho like some of the blokes, and was usually good at standing back and assessing the situation. She'd been specially trained to deal with rape cases and her naturally compassionate nature made her ideal for the role of "chaperone". Bright and brave, coppers didn't come more caring or conscientious than Polly Page.
However Pol's love life was quite a different story. Her life revolved completely around her job, which she saw as far more important than any boyfriend. Secretly she was yearning for 'Mr. Right', although an affair with ex-colleague Dave Quinnan did little for her confidence, and nearly resulted in her taking her own life. She returned to Sun Hill after a year's personal leave to join CSU, but after assisting the euthanasia of a Doctor she'd befriended, Polly found herself sent down on a murder charge. However, after being cleared on appeal, she was exonerated and returned to Sun Hill as a civilian C.A.D. operator. Far from front-line policing, it proved to be quite an adjustment.
Pol never quite got used to being stuck in the station. Exploited by a local journalist who seduced her to get a story, the final straw came when Polly visited Cathy Bradford in a secure unit to lay her own demons to rest. It had quite the opposite effect - deluded Cathy believed she was undercover in prison and taunted Polly for not being senior enough to discuss the operation. Realising that she could never command the respect she once had, Polly decided to leave Sun Hill and make a new start elsewhere.
She specialises in Radio Operations.
