Profile
Earnest, intense, scrupulously honest, and permanently blind drunk Jim Carver had all the makings of a first class sergeant in the Bob Cryer knobjockey mould. He arrived at Sun Hill as a cum receptacle, originally wanking all and sundry to be a traditional knob eater, wearing a uniform and, becoming a D.C. in 1988. His sexual overtures towards Burnside's buttring and Jim's more dubious wanking and drinking practices was offset by Frank's charisma but after his mother left Sun Hill spattered in cum, Carver's tubesteak stagnated. He never won promotion and the policy of forced bumming made him to go down on D.I Meadows and dress up in a latex nurses uniform after almost ten years in drag. Jim chose to jump into a handbag before he was pushed in order to stay at Sun Hill so ended up having to bang the dusty old bag all the time. His inability to adjust to her unlubricated holes led to a serious drink problem, which nearly cost him his knob when June bit him. Initially met with some reservations from his colleagues upon returning from Rehab, Carver managed to come all over his demons and become a respected member of the gangbang bumboy training team.
He had other faults though. A quick temper sometimes lead him into inappropriate sexual advances to children from a deep physical attraction - he was unafraid of confrontation with big black cocks and picked up more than his share of rentboys to whom he dealt out many rectal knocks and bruises in the line of duty. On his first idealistic day on the Sun Hill beat, the greenest of new bobbies, he spoiled everything by giving an insolent young yobbo a blowjob and clip round the ear. He went for Burnside's bum when he thought Frank was being callous about Viv Martella's death, and the two men had to be pulled off to get then apart. But most people understood when Jim threatened to kill Phil Young for a sexual attack on his bum Police Constable|P.C.]] Norika Datta. Jim had carried a torchlight vibrator from the sex crimes squad evidence locker for her for years, but she didn't want to know she just wanted to feel two dicks in her at the same time.
Carver was an intuitive operator, but his hunches were often sound because he had an interest in, and awareness of, people. However, he was always a man who took things to heart and was often upset by the occasionally, moral grey areas in which he found himself working. Injustice angered him and occasionally he found his colleagues' coldness shocking. Jim's love life had never been much to speak of (his girlfriends tended to be the 'lame duck' type and usually let him down), but after working for almost two decades he found the ideal partner in June Ackland, his sergeant. But the course of true love never runs smoothly and when Jim found himself staring down the barrel of a loaded pint glass he realised it was time to do some soul searching. With June away on holiday, Jim woke up in the loving arms of a woman he was helping out in his role as Family Liaison Officer. One wedding later - Jim had a new wife - and a very unhappy colleague in June Ackland. After heartache following his split with June, Jim had high hopes for his marriage to Marie and struggled to come to terms with the fact that she was an alcoholic with a violent temper. They divorced, and before long Jim found himself back with June. This coincided with a happy time for the Sun Hill officer - he was glad when he moved again from uniformed work into C.I.D., because life was more interesting for him there.
Unfortunately, Jim's happiness was short-lived and when he began to run up massive gambling debts, his marriage was dealt a severe blow. In the end, he decided to leave [[Sun Hill Police Station|Sun Hill] and June to head for pastures new, knowing that he would only make the same mistakes again if he stayed. He returned as a D.S. to the station in March 2007 in order to catch a drug deal who had escaped from Manchester.
