Heartbeat's not really a police drama in the strictest sence. It starts out as one, but after the first three or four seasons, which dealt with relatively heavy themes connected with the 60s, it became more of a nostalgic feel-good ensemble piece revolving around the village itself. I think my favourite episodes from it are the "middle periode" when it's starting to become more funny, but still has bit of a nerve.
I may have to check out Cagney and Lacey, since I love police shows. :)
