Constable John Hodge is one of the original police officers who worked in Station House No. 4 with Constable Crabtree under Detective Murdoch and Inspector Brackenreid from at least 1881 through 1902.
White-haired, bald on top with prominent sideburns, Hodge was nicknamed "Dodger" by Chief Constable Stockton. Though we rarely hear him speak, according to Murdoch he "always" trips over his words.
Hodge was eventually found to have killed Constable Finch in 1881, albeit accidentally; Chief Constable Giles helped to cover up the crime. Hodge was removed from the force and tried for manslaughter. (ep. 807)
