Detective Sergeant George (Georgina) Samuels is head of the Greendale Crime Control Unit, a team of six plaincothes cops whose brief is to blend into their community, pre-empting crimes before they can happen. Being a woman in authority is not easy and George's leadership is constantly under threat from both her duplicitous boss, Senior Sergeant Gordon "Mitch" Mitchell, and Detective (LP) Pitt who doubts that a "skirt" can do the job. (26 x 45min)
