** In "[[Recap/MidsomerMurdersS10E6 Picture of Innocence]]", Barnaby is removed because he himself is connected to the case by an attempted FrameUp. Once again his replacement is intolerable (and seemingly preoccupied with planning his wedding) so Barnaby proceeds to get to all the witnesses two steps ahead of the other inspector.

* ''Series/MayorOfKingstown'': Mike is a go-between for the gangs, police and prison guards in Kingstown. He is not a police officer, although he is friends with a lot of them and one of his brothers is a detective with the Kingstown PD. Because of this, he regularly trades favors with his friends on the force. The commissioner is not a fan of Mike being so involved in their activities, but he recognizes his usefulness so tells his lieutenants to file him as an informant so he can at least explain why this guy shows up at so many crime scenes. One of the few times where this becomes a problem is when a rookie officer refuses to let Mike past the police tape. Mike is sensible enough not to make a big deal about it and just calls one of the detectives on the scene to come get him.
