Jackie Kowalski is a Sergeant at the Top 10 precinct. We are introduced to her when Toybox, the precinct's newest recruit meets her. After offering to go out for beers, Jackie reveals to Robyn that she is a lesbian, which doesn't go down too well with her. However, during later discussions with Jeff Smax, and Irma Geddon and Girl One, Robyn defends Jackie. Jackie works closely with her partner, Peregrine, though their work is sometimes strained by Peregrine's conservative Christian values and Jackie's homosexuality. Nonetheless, they are an effective team, working to apprehend the customer of a murdered prositute, before attempting to solve the Libra case - A murdered who leaves their victims headless. After a lead arises, Jackie leads the assault on Libra, taking Dust Devil and Shock Headed Peter into the sewers to find the killer.
