Would like a proper crack at him.

-Oh, no, no, no. That's, uh, from too much egg-nogging.
He passed out drunk in electronics.

-Great. That's yet another reason everything he said could be ruled inadmissible.

-Oh. And he also implied that he was the real Santa Claus.

-Now, so we asked Buzz to try and sober him up so he wouldn't blurt anything
else out that was incriminating.

-The Chief would like a proper crack at him.

The Chief would like a proper crack at him.

My guess is that it means that the chief would like to have a chance (=crack) to question him properly (= according to all the legal rules).

to have a crack at something = to have a chance to try it
