Bluey

At Melbourne's Russell Street Police Headquarters, Sgt. "Bluey" Hills, unable to work within the existing police squads, oversees Department B. They're assigned cases other departments could not readily solve by conventional means, with Hills applying his unconventional methods to bring about their resolution. Bluey's investigations are supported by newly assigned Gary Dawson, long-time cohort Monica Rourke, and undercover officer Reg Truscott, who spends his time ostensibly working as a small-time burglar, and supplying Bluey with information on the activities of local criminals.

Episode 1The First Bloody Day60 min
Maverick cop Sgt. Bluey Hills is set up in the newly formed 'Department B', which has been created especially for him, largely because no-one else wants to work with him. His first day brings the tragic case of a young policeman who has been killed by a car bomb blast. Bluey is hindered by the boy's father, a retired policeman, who thinks the police aren't doing enough and decides to take on the investigation himself.
Episode 2Unplaced Favourite60 min
Bluey is out to get small time crim Tony Benson - and Benson is very much aware of it.

Bluey is subsequently suspended from duty, and is only brought back into favour by the efforts of Det. Gary Dawson.
