Nick Schultz – William McInnes

An imposing policeman at six-foot-four, Nick Schultz was known to lose his temper and self-control in difficult situations; on one occasion, he was accused of strangling a prisoner to death.  He was surly and sarcastic, with a sometimes savage sense of humour (and so often got the best lines on the show).  He eventually married Dr. Zoe Hamilton and transferred to Footscray police station.
