This takes quite an amiable look at brief snippets from days in the lives of police officers “Gary” (Andrew Paul) and new rookie “Jenny” (Alexa Morden). From their initial meeting as she struggles to lug a large dog into the back of their patrol car through to him rather paternally dropping her off for a date, we follow their developing relationship. It’s clear that for him, this job is a vocation in which he is happy - well, content at any rate. She clearly has ambition, though, and soon we meet the next in his conveyor line. It’s peppered by a few scenes with some of the reprobates that they pick up in the line of, and with some (out of vision) appreciation of some of the work these jobbing coppers have to do, day in day out, in all weathers. It’s quickly cut together and shows something of just how teamwork, well, works! Two sugars in your tea each time might just get you dentures, though, pal!
