City Homicide

Detective Senior Constable Jennifer Mapplethorpe

Detective Senior Constable Jennifer Mapplethorpe

Jennifer's an ambitious, intelligent woman, and her ability to think on her feet is what makes her an ideal Homicide Detective. Jennifer's sensitive, without being sentimental and she has a strong ability to read people - crooks and cops alike.

The only female Homicide Detective, Jennifer enjoys a strong and unique relationship with her co-workers. Stirring Simon like a younger brother is always a fun game. Duncan and Jennifer may butt heads from time to time, but Jen knows that he'll always have her back. And then there's Matt. In Series Two, Matt finds himself in a new relationship, and it catches Jennifer off-guard. Is it just that she resents the change to their friendship...or deep down does Jennifer have more feelings? Not even she knows the answer to this. Yet.

Jen is focussed and competitive. Her work life is about death, victims, and the families left behind. Privately she challenges herself to extremes, doing pounding endurance runs and long yoga sessions. She also likes to capture life through the lens. Photography enables her to capture moments that aren't like the gory snaps at work; this alternate perspective is good for her.

Jennifer will always battle to find the balance between her personal and work life. This season a more emotionally driven Jennifer rises to the surface, and she doesn't apologise for it.

Classic Jennifer Quotes:

"I've got hair like straw and Matty's just gorgeous."

"Shall I suck the egg now or save it til later?"

"Blow your nose and start from the beginning."

"You feed me any crap and I'll send my mates over."

"Better than boarding with your hippy aunt who smokes mull and tells you all about her sex life."

She's an interesting character, and as someone who's usually the odd girl out in a group of guys, it's nice to see someone who plays the role truthfully.

Jennifer is an amazing character. I've always been against boys thinking that women can't do a man's job & I think Jennifer, as a character, really displays that. I look forward to seeing more of Jennifer in the rest of season 2 & in season 3. She's amazing! & she definitly deserves a logie in 09!
