DCS Kenneth ‘Kenny’ Reid
Born – 15/10/70 in Govan. Hard as
nails Glaswegian who spent his career in the Strathclyde Police, ending up
heading an anti-corruption unit that burned his bridges in Glasgow. Was forced out of the AC unit by politics. Took the ‘demotion’ of a DCS post in SCU and chose to be
based in Edinburgh where his enemies are fewest.
Has an extremely combative
relationship with Mac even though he groomed him as a PC. Fiery tempered and
often infuriated by Mac's icy control. Frequently goads him just to try and
get a reaction. His bluster covers up his disastrous personal life; financial
troubles, a drug addict adult son and a wife who (on the surface) appears to
despise him.
Mac is one of the
few officers not afraid of Kenny Reid.
