TV Detective or Police Procedural dramas where the main character ISN'T a "Defective Detective" trope

[A380]

I'm not sure that was to be taken as something which really happened.

Surely you’re not suggesting it wasn’t a documentary?

Lewis was a copper in Miss Marple too.

He looks like Father Dougal there.

Not quite what was asked for in the OP but he's hated by his boss/other detectives and so is human. Peter Davison with Sean Hughes who's also good.

It was being shown on Drama - Freeview ch.20. Remember seeing it first time around and it came across very true to the books which I read in the mid nineties.

Davison was also good as the 20s/30s detective Campion. Brian Glover played his sidekick iirc.

After several false starts ITT, I can finally suggest something nobody else has. Copying my post from the Disney+ thread to save writing it again:

Only Murders in the Building. A brand new dark comedy crime miniseries created and starring Steve Martin, with Martin Short and Selima Gomez as the other main leads. Very good and entertaining so far
