He was a Detective senior constable from 1993-2001 and later promoted to Senior Detective 2001-2005 until he took a job in Melbourne in Homicide in 2005, season 12, episode 484, "Another day at the Office part 2", just 16 episodes before finishing season 12.
In 1996, PJ shot a woman dead in self-defense and had to deal with her psychotic son Luke Darcy. He was romantically involved with Maggie Doyle and the two became engaged but she was killed off from the series in 2000. He was framed for Maggie's murder and looked desperately to clear his name and prove that he had been framed. He later realised that the killer was her brother Mick. In 2002, PJ's mother died of cancer, which affected him deeply. Later he became engaged to Jo Parrish, but they broke up because he was haunted by Maggie's memory. Soon after, Jo died in an explosion. After the explosion of the Mount Thomas Police station, PJ was partnered with Amy Fox until he joined a Homicide Squad in Melbourne. His final episode of Blue Heelers was Another Day At The Office Pt 2.it is possible PJ might have got posted to Nick police station in homicide when he took the job. PJ was promoted Senior Detective in season 8.
PJ worked closely with Maggie on several occasions throughout her first 2–3 years at Mt Thomas (from 1994 to 1996), growing closer together, sometimes at odds with each other, sometimes exceptionally close to each other, yet over this time they never actually committed to anything other than a close working relationship. This changed in 1997 when they were caught together in a mine collapse. Cold dark and alone together for the night in the mine, they finally succumbed to their feelings for each other. After the events of the Mine disaster however they still did not take their relationship any further preferring to put their work first.
Later on in 1997 Maggie Doyle's brother Robbie came to stay with her, and despite denying he still had a drug problem, PJ was highly suspect of his every move, putting further stress on his relationship with Maggie, who preferred to stay loyal to her brother. After Robbie was proven to be responsible for several burglaries on local farms, Maggie finally realised PJ's suspicion of Robbie was not out of jealousy, but a genuine want to protect her, they then commenced a secret affair.
