Chief Superintendent Arthur Coulson

Age 54 - Uses his power and rank to bully his subordinates, and takes the credit for their successes.

Makes an occasional appearance at the station, but is not stationed there. He is Briggs鈥檚 boss with a reputation for being injudicious and harsh. He tends to make the wrong call based on assumption rather than fact, something Briggs resents but has to swallow. He likes to drop in unexpectedly and enjoys seeing everyone scramble to button their jackets and stand to attention.

Played by John Bowler.
