Line of Duty star Vicky McClure has officially opened the multi-million-pound joint headquarters for Nottinghamshire Police and Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Vicky, known to millions as Detective Inspector Kate Fleming, who works in the anti-corruption unit AC-12 in the BBC hit drama, cut the ribbon in the opening ceremony on Thursday, July 28.
The Nottingham-born actress was given a guided tour by Chief Constable Craig Guildford of the force’s professional standards department as well as the force control room, digital forensics and operational support facilities. Vicky, who also recently starred in ITV's Trigger Point, was accompanied on her tour by fiancé Jonny Owen, the director behind the film I Believe in Miracles which documented Nottingham Forest's success in Europe.
The actress saw Nottinghamshire Police’s latest recruits being welcomed into the force at their passing out parade and also enjoyed a performance by the Nottinghamshire Police Band during her visit. Vicky said: “It’s a real honour to be asked here and see the incredible work that’s being done.
