The Beat

Members of the Beat Enforcement Team welcome new recruit, intern Mariya Zhalovaga; Veteran Shane Aitken tries to explain to her that she must quickly learn to work in the field, for her own safety.

With his resources stretched to the limit, Sgt Hinton is asked to commit officers to escorting street-cleaning crews through the Eastside. Two weeks into her training assignment, Zhalovaga has yet to hit her stride.

Constable Kristie Fisher returns from medical leave, her latest attempt at getting pregnant having failed. With her partner, Tara, she escorts a local resident who's been receiving threats from a violent ex.

There are a string of drug overdoses and anti-police demonstration. Meanwhile, Hinton and Steinkampf are up for promotions.

Drug offences move into Chinatown; underage children living on the street grows; Russell gets married.

Hinton adjusts to his new job, a local community centre is cleaned up and the unit's newest member is trained.
