Line 10:
* [[Buried Alive]]: What {{spoiler|Ian Pritchard}} nearly did to Luke in ''Final Lap''.
* [[Endangered Species]]: Cats and dogs. A cat smuggling operation was even central {{spoiler|though a [[Red Herring]]}} to the plot of ''Framed!''
* [[Excited Show Title!]]: ''Framed!''.
* [[Faking the Death]]: {{spoiler|Camilla in ''Double Check''. She tries it again during the investigation, but Luke isn't fooled.}}
* [[Foreshadowing]]: {{spoiler|Ian's}} line to Luke about the foundations in Final Lap.
{{quote| ''' {{spoiler|Ian}}:''' I don't want to be down there when they start to lay the foundations, do I? That wouldn't be much fun.}}
* [[Frame -Up]]: Luke is framed for triple murder in ''[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Framed!]]''. [[Played With]] in ''Double Check''; {{spoiler|Luke thinks Everton was framed for Rowan's murder, but it turns out that he had been hit by lightning, which caused him to have a spastic fit in the already murdered Rowan's apartment, which is why nearly all evidence pointed to him.}}
* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: '''M'''obile '''A'''id to '''L'''aw and '''C'''rime.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Happens to Everton in ''Double Check''. {{spoiler|It's revealed he was struck by lighting, [[Justified Trope|which can cause memory deficits in some cases.]]}}
* [[Literal -Minded]]: Malc.
* [[Name's the Same]]: The killer in ''Roll Call'' is only after girls named Emily Wonder.
* [[Non-Action Guy]]: While Luke is physically fit and often chases down suspects, Malc is usually the one to combat violence.
Line 23:
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: After children are sent to school they aren't allowed to see their parents again. {{spoiler|Subverted in Blood Brother where Luke's father appears.}}
* [[Robot Buddy]]: Malc.
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Luke and Jade.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Inverted; smoking is illegal in the Traces verse.
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: Malc does this three times for Luke; taking a knife in ''Framed!'', a bullet in ''Lost Bullet'' and a tree branch in ''Final Lap''. Justified in that Luke's safety is Malc's second priority after upholding the law.
