Further details
Chief Commissioner Cameron Miekelson is pitch perfect with his new Kick Crime Into Touch initiative, enlisting the help of Scotland's rugby hero Gavin Hastings. But Miekelson quickly makes a balls up when trying to kick-start his campaign in front of the watching media.
When lawlessness stinks out the neighbourhood, Acting Sgt Ken Beattie is a breath of fresh air. He finds himself flushed with success when he steps in to blitz out a bad smell threatening to stink out Cassandra's blossoming romance.
Pre-pandemic interrogation dream team DC Megan Squire and DC Andrea McGill act on a hot tip to nab a loser down the boozer. Landlord Slick Jim sneakily avoids providing fingerprints but the dynamic duo have other ideas - tight leather trousers he can't keep his hands off.
Also this week, urban cops PC Jack McLaren and PC Sarah Fletcher blow the cover of a police pal on the streets; traffic team PC's Singh and McKirdy get creative to ensnare speeding offenders during lockdown; and as rural policing positions are re-organised, Charlie McIntosh comes to terms with the possibility of sharing a shift with his partner Jane MacKay for the very last time.
