[edit] Character history

Luke is one of the youngest Sergeants within the Constabulary, having risen to this rank after gaining a University degree in Criminology, he is aiming for the highest rank, a Chief Constable in charge of the entire force. Much of his eagerness comes from him genuinely feeling he can make a difference in the world. As much as he is career minded he is also down to earth. Recently the new Detective Chief Inspector Scott Vaughan who replaced corrupt Harry Hutchinson as head of the department made it clear to Luke that he will make Detective Inspector. Luke and John Keenan often disagree over policing methods as John would rather bend rules to put a criminal behind bars, whereas Luke would rather follow every letter of the book.

Luke feels guilty about his terminally ill mother dying while he was spending time with his wife. Recently after trying for a baby, Luke's wife became pregnant and has given birth to a baby girl named Ruby.

Lukes' wife Mandy was run over, while looking after he daughter Ruby and Luke is understandably distraught.
