"On the Run" is a television programme presented as an episode within its series. It falls under the genre of a typical police‑procedural episode, focusing on law‑enforcement activities. The show follows the day‑to‑day duties of police officers as they respond to incidents, with particular emphasis on the role of their canine partners. In this installment, PC Dave Smith teams up with his Belgian shepherd, Kelly, as they speed to the location of a burglary at a pet‑food shop. Meanwhile, PC Adele Gibson is accompanied by her dog Diesel, and together they take part in a drugs raid that commences at dawn, highlighting two distinct operations. The episode splits its attention between the two scenes, illustrating how the officers and their dogs coordinate their responses. Smith and Kelly’s rapid arrival at the pet‑food store underscores the urgency of a burglary, while Gibson and Diesel’s involvement in the early‑morning raid showcases the use of police dogs in drug‑related investigations. By juxtaposing a daytime burglary response with a pre‑sunrise drug operation, "On the Run" provides a snapshot of varied police work. The presence of Kelly and Diesel in each scenario reinforces the integral part that trained dogs play in supporting officers during both rapid reaction calls and planned enforcement actions.
