A detective sergeant has served Scotland’s capital city for more than 30 years, including two decades probing the most serious crime. DS Todd Rutherford has investigated some of Edinburgh’s highest-profile and complex serious criminal cases as part of the city’s CID. As well as spearheading a number of operations, the “true gent and family man” has been praised for helping other officers as they progress their own careers. His work has helped solve major crimes and kept the public safe. DC Christina Yeoman, who nominated him for the Cops' Cop of the Year award, said his longevity within the CID proved his ability and commitment to the cause. She said: “He has attended all serious incidents and dealt with murder enquiries over 20 years in Edinburgh, and genuinely is the most committed individual to carrying out a thorough investigation to the highest standard. The attention to detail, enthusiasm and perseverance shown to every crime he has investigated is above and beyond.”
