His Good Ranking[]

His Heroic Deeds[]

  • He is shown to be a very loving and kind father to his son Ralph.
  • Arrests Sideshow Bob for trying to murder Bart.
  • Gave Homer a ride home and helped him chase Marge and Ruth Powers who had become fugitives.
  • Was among the people who helped rebuild Ned Flanders' home after it was destroyed by a hurricane.
  • Tried to find the culprit after Mr. Burns was shot.
  • He helped Mona Simpson escape from the FBI to repay her for curing him of his asthma.

Why He Doesn't Stand Out?[]

  • He fails the admirable standards to Homer despite having more resources.
  • He is shown in several episodes to be a corrupt cop who takes bribes or makes up his own laws (often on the fly).
  • He arrested Sideshow Bob even after Lisa told him he had no part in his brother's plan.
  • In the episode “Wild Barts Can’t Be Broken”, he blames the destruction of Springfield Elementary School on kids (when in reality it was caused by Homer’s drunk driving spree) and imposes a curfew, and threatens to shoot any child for being outside after dark, but quickly changes it to returning them to their parents.
  • He often joins lynch mobs, such as In the movie, he is among the townspeople who tries to kill the whole Simpson family for something only Homer was to blame for, or when Bart missed a ball in baseball, he pretends to help Bart, but instead drives him back for the lynch mob to negatively criticize him.
  • He often is irresponsible with his gun, such as during Sideshow Bob's wedding to Selma, he foolishly leaves it by the wedding cake where some children were, or during the movie he had used his gun to hold some doughnuts and almost shoots himself, even though the bullet only hit his police cap.
