Liz Rawton is a fictional character from the long running police drama, The Bill. She was played by Libby Davison from 1996 to 1999.

Biography

Liz was born in Newcastle upon Tyne and joined Northumbria Police when she was a cadet of 18. She later joins Sun Hill as a DC, after a stint with SO11 (Criminal Intelligence)[1]. A well liked member of the CID team, she is known for her razor wit and fits in well with the rest of the 'lads' of CID.

Later, she is abducted and she decides to leave Sun Hill and take a training position at Hendon. It is here where she is promoted to Detective Sergeant. When DCI Frank Burnside is tracking two corrupt officers in Newcastle upon Tyne, he asks Liz to accompany him back up to her home city due to her knowledge of the police force involved and the area.

Liz returns to Sun Hill along with DS Rosie Fox to give evidence against disgraced PC Eddie Santini in his trial for murder of his lover, Jessica Orton. Following the trial, she transfers to Serious Crimes Unit and is for a while, acting Inspector.

She returns to Sun Hill for a final time as acting Detective Inspector to head up 'Operation Magenta' to catch a dangerous serial rapist. This operation results in the resignation of PC Roz Clarke after being attacked and the discovery of two corrupt police officers.
