This week, The Chief tackles a new initiative with the help of rugby legend Gavin Hastings, it's a bum wrap for Detectives Squire and McGill when tracing a criminal, and Acting Sgt Ken Beattie closes the window on crime.

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.
