* NiceMeanAndInBetween: He's the in-between to Chris' nice and Ray's mean. Like many of his fellow police officer he's an [[OldFashionedCopper Old Fashioned]] [[RabidCop Rabid]] and DirtyCop [[BigotWithABadge with a Badge]]. But when it comes down to it he's firmly a PoliticallyIncorrectHero who worries about the brutality and lack of restraint that officer like Ray show, genuinely wants to help and protect people, and is a [[NobleBigotWithABadge good person underneath his bigotry]].
Added DiffLines:
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: He's the nice to Gene's in-between and Ray's mean. While he will generally go along with the more violent tactics Gene and Ray prefer, he's the first to start accepting Sam's modern way of policing and along with Annie tends to treat him with more respect.
Added DiffLines:
* NiceMeanAndInBetween: He's the mean to Chris' nice and Gene's in-between. He lacks many of Gene's HiddenDepths and while he does show a kinder side occasionally, he's little more than a PsychoSidekick who enjoys the violence and bribes that comes with being a police officer.

He hates paperwork, and prefers to use his fists instead of his brains, and listen to orders rather then think for himself.
