Jeffrey Johnson

The character of Jeffrey Johnson invested Cop Shop with a sense of humour and a very relaxed Australian attitude to life in general.

He was known by his initials JJ and spent many happy hours at the local pub where he presided over the table of collegues.

JJ's life changed some what when he met and fell in love with stripper Valerie Close. They had a rocky road to their relationship till they eventually married.

Things went smoothly for a while until JJ was posted overseas. The couple departed and JJ later returned to Riverside without Valerie as they conflicted over her desire to continue working. Valarie remained overseas with daughter Erica Claire.

Later more humerous events occured when he bachelor padded with 'Irish', fellow detective Tom Shannan. Opportunity for romance ensued when both shared interest in neighbour/tennent aspiring actress Helen.

JJ renamed at Riverside to the concluding episode in which he had a prominent role and his romantic life solidified with a relationship with pyschiatrist ? who incidentally romanced at one time by Tom.
