"Brenda Allen" was a pimp/madam based in Los Angeles, California, whose arrest in 1948 triggered a scandal that led to the reform of the Los Angeles Police Department (L.A.P.D.). Allen received police protection due to her relationship with Sergeant Elmer V. Jackson of the L.A.P.D.'s administrative vice squad, who reportedly was her lover.
