DCS KENNETH 'KENNY' REID

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.
