Inspector June Turner was the mother of Jorjie Turner and an agent of the Department. She was Alistair Gryffen's primary contact with his employer.
Biography
Early life
June Turner lived in London in the 21st century and had a daughter, Jorjie. (TV: Regeneration [+]Loading...["Regeneration (TV story)"]) Jorjie once said that June was her only parent (TV: The Last Precinct [+]Loading...["The Last Precinct (TV story)"]) and June said that she had nobody other than her daughter. (TV: The Custodians [+]Loading...["The Custodians (TV story)"]) June was an inspector for the Department and worked as Head of the Alien Activity Section. (TV: The Korven [+]Loading...["The Korven (TV story)"]) She kept her career a secret from Jorjie, who grew up believing that she had a "boring job" in IT. (TV: Liberation [+]Loading...["Liberation (TV story)"])
June's job involved working closely with Inspector Drake, the Head of Security. (TV: The Korven [+]Loading...["The Korven (TV story)"]) She did not believe that aliens who came to Earth should be allowed to wander London and tried to have them returned to their planets without success, so she had them imprisoned in Dauntless Prison and catalogued to protect future generations. (TV: Liberation [+]Loading...["Liberation (TV story)"]) When Jorjie was about twelve, June, like the rest of the Department, supported the replacement of human police officers with the Cybernetic Civic Pacification Corps. She opposed the use of alien technology in the CCPC officers, however. (TV: The Last Precinct [+]Loading...["The Last Precinct (TV story)"])
June employed the services of Alistair Gryffen, installed at a police station (TV: Regeneration [+]Loading...["Regeneration (TV story)"]) owned by the Department following the creation of the CCPC, (TV: The Last Precinct [+]Loading...["The Last Precinct (TV story)"]) to research alien technology such as the Space-Time Manipulator. (TV: Regeneration [+]Loading...["Regeneration (TV story)"])
Opposite Drake
Hunting K9
June was aware of an explosion at Gryffen's mansion and correctly believed that it was connected to the appearance of K9 Mark 2, who was caught on surveillance the following day and whom she believed to be a weapon, albeit an ugly and ungainly one with a "terrible design". She ordered Gryffen to find, capture and hand K9 over to the Department and threatened to pull him off the time-space project if he failed to do so, something she claimed she would hate to do but would if necessary. She was also aware of the arrest and escape of Starkey and asked whether Gryffen had seen him, unaware that Gryffen was harbouring him. (TV: Regeneration [+]Loading...["Regeneration (TV story)"])
After Starkey and Darius Pike were imprisoned in Dauntless Prison, June informed them that Thorne had the right to do so without charging them and promised to release them immediately if they gave up the location of K9. A Jixen later attacked the prison in search of Starkey and Thorne, (TV: Liberation [+]Loading...["Liberation (TV story)"]) who had become part-Meron, (TV: The Eclipse of the Korven [+]Loading...["The Eclipse of the Korven (TV story)"]) refused to let June leave his office even when she saw that K9 had arrived. She promised that his career was over and went after K9, finding that Jorjie had befriended him, Starkey and Darius and helped the alien prisoners escape. She then helped kill the Jixen with her arm unit. (TV: Liberation [+]Loading...["Liberation (TV story)"])
Founding the K9 Unit
June took Jorjie shopping for clothes, an activity that they did not often do together but which she enjoyed, before heading to work. She tried to call Jorjie later without success and hoped that her unavailability was due to her being busy with her homework. Her voice message was interrupted by Drake, whose questions about the recent surge in alien arrivals she avoided answering by claiming that she had no reason to share any information on the subject with him but would do so if that changed. Drake agreed to operate on the same principle. (TV: The Korven [+]Loading...["The Korven (TV story)"])
After Drake's publicity stunt at the Ferris wheel failed and Starkey and K9 became heroes, Drake blamed June's section. June said his section had no jurisdiction as K9 posed no security threat. She told Gryffen to inform her if Drake came looking for K9. Gryffen told her of Ahab and that the kids were hiding K9. Nonetheless, she gave Gryffen responsibility for K9 and made K9 and the team the official "K9 Unit". (TV: The Bounty Hunter)

After Jorjie threw a stone at a CCPC, June was convinced by Drake to enrol her daughter in Magdalene Academy. Unbeknownst to her, the students there were given cerulium bracelets that removed their free will. Fortunately, however, K9 saw that the bracelets were destroyed. (TV: Sirens of Ceres)

While Freddie Maxwell operated Crashclub, an illegal business in which robots were made to fight each other, June informed Gryffen that she could not stop it as the Department had "bigger fish to fry". However, the K9 Unit was able acquire to sufficient evidence for Crashclub to be shut down. (TV: Robot Gladiators)
After disobeying Lomax's orders, June was demoted to Constable, working in the Department Research Division. She witnessed the death of K9 and was delighted to see him return to life again. (TV: The Eclipse of the Korven)
Alternate timelines
At the mobile HQ, June was alerted to the escape of a prisoner, who Thorne noted was a maximum security inmate associated with Project Taphony. Arriving at the manor on Gryffen's 38th birthday, June found that he had freed the inmate, Taphony, a Time Blank that had rapidly aged him while draining the energy from Jorjie. Though Taphony wished for a mother and friends, June told her that absorbing Jorjie would not make her Taphony's mother. When June and the others. When June and the others offered themselves in Jorjie's place, Taphony chose to leave via the STM vortex, restoring Gryffen and saving Jorjie. As a result of Taphony's departure, time reversed by a day and so June, along with everyone else bar K9, lost their memory of Taphony. (TV: Taphony and the Time Loop)
Other information
June liked to go clothes shopping with Jorjie. Jorjie thought it was so she could supervise the clothes she bought but June looked on it more as "advising, strongly advising". (TV: The Korven)
Personality
June was a staunch believer in obeying the law, although she would disobey a law she felt wrong or unjust. She was moral and despised the immoral actions of Drake, Thorne and Lomax. She believed imprisoning aliens in the Dauntless Prison was right for the future, safeguarding the world's children, (TV: Liberation) although she did meet more peaceful aliens such as the Medes, whom she released from their harsh treatment, (TV: Alien Avatar) and Yssaringintinka. (TV: Lost Library of Ukko) She was strict with her daughter out of love and concern rather than malice; June admitted at one point she would never stop worrying, and she told Drake she had stayed in the Department to prevent his world from ever existing. (TV: Black Hunger)
