Detective Sergeant Tom Daniels (John Alkin) is the most prominent member of the supporting Squad. Other members include Sergeant Kent, Detective Constable Thorpe (Martin Read) and DS Matthews (John Flanagan) in the first series, DC Jerry Burtonshaw (Nick Brimble) (Series 1-2, 4) and DC Jellyneck (James Warrior) (Series 4). Detective Chief Superintendent Maynon (Morris Perry) appears occasionally as a senior officer, and is seen as being more willing than Haskins to bend the rules in order to get a result in the episode "Queen's Pawn". With Haskins absent, a semi-regular senior officer named DCS Braithwaite (Benjamin Whitrow) appears in Series 4.
