Da Chief	comment	This is the eternally put-upon superior of a police department. They are always strict and by-the-book but can be comfortably relied upon to give a good Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving-style speech. You can always expect them to say that "you have twenty-four hours", have you Taken Off the Case or demand that you Turn in Your Badge and gun, usually at the top of his formidable voice. They frequently worry that the mayor or district attorney will have his ass (and pension) for whatever destruction or mayhem the Cowboy Cop caused. They will occasionally prove to have a heart by giving his men an inspirational speech. They are the police department equivalent of A Father to His Men. Of course in the By-the-Book Cop's case, Da Chief would do the exact opposite. He is rather flexible in terms of laying down the law and views the By-the-Book Cop's attempts to find a solution with minimal violence as counterproductive and expects zero negotiations with criminals or terrorists while gladly accepting the Cowboy Cop's methods if it means nabbing the most notorious criminal. However, he will be quite proud of the cop if he meets up to the expectation stating how he found someone's idealism of justice pulling through and knows when to reel in the Cowboy Cop when they go too far. Depending on his milieu and personal tastes, he may be sporting a mustache, wearing suspenders (belt braces), a pistol (or old-style snub-nose revolver) in a shoulder holster, or a cigar firmly planted in a corner of his mouth. Frequently (though by no means always) Da Chief is a Reasonable Authority Figure, but just as frequently they are a Mean Boss. Sometimes a Private Detective will have him as a Friend on the Force. If they are not friends of the main characters/group, then they are usually The Neidermeyer and exist only to have their authority stepped over while they bluster. Originally, Da Chief was Always Male but has since seen more variety such by making the character an Iron Lady or Black Boss Lady. Compare Da Editor, who has a similar plot function and personality (and many times appearance), but is the boss of the Intrepid Reporter. Frequently overlaps with Mean Boss and Beleaguered Boss.

Even when they start a fight with Captain Grady's local cops, O'Hagan is more annoyed at the bad timing than infuriated at the fight itself (he hates Grady and his goons as much as his troopers). It's heavily implied that, in his rookie days, he was just like his men.

Da Chief / int_18916544	comment	Junior Comissioner Vallejo in Fillmore! fits this trope perfectly. Vallejo has issues with drinking too much cocoa, which is a kid-friendly version of issues with excessive caffeine or alcohol. Vallejo is often put at odds against Fillmore, such as when he is forced to take Fillmore off a case even though he does not want to, or Fillmore is close to solving it. He also often refuses Fillmore for his reckless destruction of school property, which usually allows Fillmore to catch the criminal, but makes both him and the safety patrol look bad. The only thing that gets Vallejo more mad is when he sees how much it is going to cost to repair the damages, caused by Fillmore.

Given Mystique's propensity for turning on people for lesser offenses, it's surprising it didn't end with Val dead. It does backfire on her at one point in X-Factor, when she chews Mystique out for failing to capture a teenager. Mystique had just deduced the identity of the "X-Terminators", but since Val yelled at her to shut up, she decided she didn't need to know that information.

And of course there's McBain's chief in one of his films where he's going after his arch foe (MENDOOOSSSAAAAAA!) Amusingly enough, he has the exact same character design as McGarnacle's Chief. The only difference is the hair color. Since both McGarnagle and McBain are a Show Within a Show, some viewers theorize that both chiefs are played by the same fictional actor in the Simpsons universe.

Da Chief / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Commander Vimes shakes the formula up a bit; he's a main character in his own right and has some definite Cowboy Cop tendencies, because if a "To Be Lawful or Good" dilemma comes up he picks Good every time. The Patrician has commented that maintaining an anti-authoritarian attitude while actually being authority is "practically Zen", but it's not really authority per se that Vimes has an issue with, just hereditary privilege and other forms of authority acquired without earning it; Vetinari made him the Duke of Ankh at least partly because he finds the ensuing paradox rather entertaining. The Patrician sometimes fulfils the role, though. Especially when he makes Vimes turn in his badge. (Pratchett has said on the alt.fan.pratchett newsgroup that, in American cop show terms, the Vetinari/Vimes conversations are closer to the never-seen conversations that lead to Da Chief telling the Cowboy Cop "The mayor is riding my ass on this one!") And Vetinari, being the Chess Master and Magnificent Bastard that he is, has on multiple occasions acted like Da Chief, specifically to trigger Sam's Cowboy Cop nature. This allows him to reap the benefits, while everyone including Vimes himself thinks it was his idea, and thus all the power players blame Vimes for the trouble (which, to be honest, he probably enjoys more than their praise).

Da Chief / int_49d728c4	comment	The police captain in Showtime who forces Robert De Niro's character (a By-the-Book Cop) to participate in a reality show after he shoots a TV camera. When a botched attempt at capturing the Big Bad results in a car chase and damage to the city, this is when the captain becomes Da Chief, chewing out both De Niro's character and his on-the-show partner played by Eddie Murphy (a patrol cop who wants to be a TV cop) and taking them off the case. When the latter asks the captain if he wants his gun and badge, the captain just tells him to get out of his office. Earlier in the film, a typical scene is shown where some police chief chews out Eddie Murphy's character. This turns out to be an audition. Interestingly, the captain says nothing after Mitch and Trey start a fight with the Big Bad in a club. Probably because an arms dealer isn't likely to invite scrutiny by filing charges against cops, especially with a camera following them.

In between The Defenders and Luke Cage season 2, Ridley gets promoted to a Deputy Chief post at One Police Plaza, and Misty gets a new boss in the form of Captain Thomas Ridenhour, a tough but fair boss who happens to be secretly using Shades' best friend Comanche as an informant, and happens to be a high school sweetheart of Mariah Dillard's, although he's not actively in her pocket. Things go horribly wrong for him when Shades follows Comanche to a meeting with Ridenhour. Comanche kills Ridenhour in an effort to protect his cover, but Shades kills him for his betrayal. Following Ridenhour's death, Ridley ends up coming back to the 29th to function as Misty's interim boss until a replacement captain can be found.

In the Cliffport arc, there is a character in the Cliffport Police referred to only as chief, and he superficially resembles the trope with his cigar munching ways and his tendency to combine cliched lines with D&D jokes. One the other hand he doesn't have any Cowboy Cops to oversee, and is one of the only two sane and competent officers in the entire squad.

Leon Vance replaced Sheppard. He fits the role of Da Chief perfectly, including the being black part. He also has a tooth pick in his mouth; you can't smoke in the NCIS building. Thomas Morrow was Director of NCIS in Seasons 1 and 2. Nowadays he's Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Until his assassination in Season 13. Gibbs briefly took on the role of Acting Director in the absence of Vance in Season 16, who had been kidnapped. And later episodes have the Secretary of the Navy, who the NCIS director reports directly to, playing a larger role in the series. That was the case long before with parent series JAG, where the head of that organization also reported to the Secretary of the Navy, who was a recurring character from season 3 and onwards.

He also turns out to be a great deal more manipulative, intelligent, and morally ambiguous than most examples; he's personally involved in one of the multiple, competing conspiracies surrounding the Key of Kings, openly admits that he is really using them for his own ends, and generally gives the sense of knowing much more than he lets on.

She cares nothing for Korra's Avatar status, especially since the first thing Korra did in the city was smash up a street, and even less so when she tries to relate to her by way of Toph being her previous incarnation's mentor (Lin... doesn't get along with the rest of her family). She proves to be less by the book, however, when she decides she's going to track down Amon and her missing metalbenders even if she has to go outside the law. Not quite as by-the-book as she first appeared. And later still she mounts a rescue operation with her niece and mother, which allows them to finally get along after years of bitter resentment (and one of the funniest rage faces known to man◊). Her replacement Saikhan is a straight By-the-Book Cop. He follows orders, even if they're unethical and from people whose sanity can be called into question. He still has the city's best interest in mind.

Da Chief / int_e144ba19	comment	In Dragon Age II, Aveline Vallen is this after becoming the Captain of the Kirkwall City Guard, especially since she has to remove all traces of the corruption in the ranks fostered by her predecessor. Her interaction with a Sarcastic Hawke tends to fall into the traditional dynamic between Da Chief and the Cowboy Cop, although Hawke is not part of the guard and merely an independent contractor hired for outside work.

Downplayed since he knows that McDonagh is a great cop despite being a Defective Detective and supports him when he can, it's more that the department in general frowns on Cowboy Cop antics. Plus, McDonagh does do some genuinely heinous shit that he deserves to be called out for, if not being booted out of the force.

She still kicks him out of the office for being a loose cannon, while telling him not to come back for exactly twenty-four hours.

He is, however, extremely reasonable in comparison to Michael Rooker's Captain Cheney, a hard-core Jerkass with an underlying Glory Hound coating who wants Rhyme and Donaghy off the case by yesterday.

The city's actual Chief of Police sometimes ends up playing this role for Furillo himself, usually because Frank has made him look bad by insisting on upholding the law no matter how many powerful people he has to annoy in the process.

Forrester, over unpresented reports and still-incomplete training regarding some prior Cowboy Cop antics. It gets even weirder when he continues to badger Forrester after the white Death Machine beats the ever-loving crap out of the whole station and Forrester gets a call from Frank Thomas about the Death Machines' whereabouts — by which we mean "you go out that door without finishing those reports and you're fired, mister!". Forrester quite understandably flips his lid and tells Green to go to hell.

He can be hard-nosed, but at the same time he gives Ellison a lot of leeway (like letting him be followed around by an Anthropology student). Really, all he needs is a moustache. Having your best detective be a human crimelab would close a lot of cases, unless you actually had to go to court, that is.

His rival, Obstructive Bureaucrat (and Jerkass) Senator Whiner, is always looking for an excuse to shut the whole thing down. Still, Walsh knows that if he gives his Badass Crew 24 hours, they get the results. He and Zach both trade off on A Father to His Men moments, too. In Walsh's case, it's a bit more literal, as Shane actually is Walsh's biological son.
