The Police Sergeant frequently manned the desk at the front of Weatherfield Police Station when residents of Coronation Street had cause, voluntary or otherwise, to enter the station. He was first seen in December 2003 when Katy Harris made an accusation that her father, Tommy, had attempted to murder her boyfriend, Martin Platt, not knowing that the tampering of the brakes on Martin's car had actually been carried out by her brother, Craig. It is possible that this unnamed Police Sergeant is actually Sergeant Draper, as both were played by Peter Foster and were based in the same station.
