![]() In 2012, Jack Halford decides that he has worked for UCOS for too long, serving almost nine years, and resigns. ![]() Pullman did not like Halford's choices but eventually agrees with them. After interviewing at least six candidates, they find ex-DI Brian Lane and ex-DS Gerry Standing. At first he mocks the idea of solving cold cases, calling it the "Unsolved Crimes and Waste of Time Initiative", but eventually warms to the idea and agrees to aid Pullman in interviewing potential candidates. Pullman, realising she does not have much of an option, decides to seek out her old "Guv'nor" and mentor, Jack Halford. Initially used as a form of demotion for DSI Sandra Pullman after seriously compromising a police mission by shooting a dog and not realising that the main hostage had critically injured himself by jumping out of a window, Bevan tasked her to recruit three retired police officers since they "didn't have the resources" to hire full-time working officers. ![]() Since all four current members left to pursue other career options it can be assumed that Strickland recruited a brand new team to continue solving cold cases for years to come. Shortly after however, DAC Robert Strickland got promoted to Assistant Commissioner and reassembled UCOS. It was disbanded by AC Cynthia Kline in 2015 after their apparent mishandling of a case that turned out to be a cover up by senior Police Officers. The team consists of three retired police officers who are lead by a detective officer, who, in turn, is coordinated by a senior officer. The Unsolved Crimes and Open Case Squad, simply known as UCOS, was set up on 9th December 2003 by DAC Donald Bevan for the purpose of solving cold cases, like the name suggests. ![]()
