The detective tasked with solving the suspicious drowning of Kate Vine.- Cowboy Cop: A less intense rendition of this trope, but Jenks still breaks into other people's property with no warrant or permission, steals belongings and assaults a person.

He also believes he stopped them. Which Ryan suggests is partly true.
