Background
Janice moved to Jersey from the mainland in her early twenties. She had a boyfriend who was a crew member on a local boat. The relationship broke up, but she stayed on and her abilities got her promoted to the Gorey Constabulary sergeant's position when her predecessor retired. She has lacked a strong leadership role model and the paucity of hard crime on the island has blunted her skills and attitude, although her heart of gold and likeability endears her to the public and her peers. Outside of work, she lives a single life, often venturing to the mainland, both England and France, for raucous hen weekends where she lets her hair down in the clubs.
