Further details
While helping a blind man do some shopping, Volunteer Officer Ken Beattie learns there's more to him that meets the eye.
Officers McLaren and Fletcher also discover appearances can be deceptive when they rush to the rescue of elderly local, Mrs McKelvie. Attending a break-in at the old lady's house, Jack and Sarah quickly realise you should never underestimate the power of a pensioner.
Later, the city cops become intoxicated by the drugs they are meant to be guarding.
Traffic officers McKirdy and Singh learn that behind all the make-up, criminal clown Bongo Buttons has an all too familiar face.
Chief Commissioner Miekelson takes part in a golf match - with disastrous consequences. He also discusses what the Scottish Police Force do with lost property: "We flog it off, we get high on our own supply... we don't sell everything. Believe me we could make a lot more money if we could sell the drugs but that's just an absolute no go."
Desk Sergeant Karen Ann Miller is confronted by a case of cut-price bananas with frequent visitor Bobby, countryside cops McIntosh and Mackay arrest a malicious metal-detector and Maggie LeBeau takes viewers on a tour of her call centre.
On the case or on the golf course, the Scot Squad are there to keep Scotland safe.
