== Biography ==

June was an [[inspector]] for [[the Department]] and worked as [[Head of the Alien Activity Section]], a job which involved working closely with [[Drake (Liberation)|Inspector Drake]], the [[Head of Security]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Korven (TV story)}}) When Jorjie was about twelve, June, like the rest of the Department, supported the replacement of [[human]] [[police officer]]s with the [[Cybernetic Civic Pacification Corps]]. She opposed the use of [[alien]] technology in the CCPC officers, however. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Last Precinct (TV story)}})  

June worked for the Department as the head of the Alien Activity section and supervised [[Alistair Gryffen]]'s work with a [[Space-Time Manipulator|space-time manipulator]]. After the night of the explosion at the [[Gryffen Manor]], she arrived to question him. She showed him the profile of [[Starkey|Stark Reality]], who had been arrested on the night of the explosion. Gryffen (who was hiding Starkey) acted oblivious as to Starkey's escape. June showed him a recording of [[K9 Mark 2]] (whom Gryffen was also hiding), saying he was "ugly" and he had a "terrible design". This angered K9, who rose from his hiding place behind June. Gryffen argued about his design to reassure K9, who was pulled down by Starkey before June could notice. She told the Professor to catch and turn over the robot dog to the Department; if he failed or refused his funding for the STM project would be terminated.

After going clothes shopping with Jorjie she left her to go home. Jorjie didn't receive her calls as she was occupied hunting the [[Korven]] with the rest of the team. June was interrupted by Inspector [[Drake (Liberation)|Drake]] who requested an update on the recent alien activity from her. She declined as she didn't report to him. When Drake asked her about information-sharing she replied that it worked on a need to know basis; when she felt he needed to know something she'd share it with him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Korven (TV story)|The Korven]]'')

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 (TV story)|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 bracelet]]s that removed their [[free will]]. Fortunately, however, K9 saw that the bracelets were destroyed. ([[TV]]: ''[[Sirens of Ceres (TV story)|Sirens of Ceres]]'')

While [[Freddie Maxwell]] operated [[Crashclub]], an illegal business in which [[robot]]s 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 (TV story)|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 (TV story)|The Eclipse of the Korven]]'')
