Yeah, I agree with Ginger though. We need a new cast of minor jerks this season. We've got all this leather, what else are going to do with it? Make a couch?

Ooh, maybe. Do police have leather jackets though?

Hm... wild mass guessChips used to be a delinquent, but Peeler convinced him to turn over a new leaf. Chips joined the force because he idolized Peeler.wild mass guess

[up][up] but Chips is a lazy fucker who mainly accts as a search light becuase he's too fat to give chase properly [lol]

at least I HOPE that's still his character sad (seeing as it's the only thing I've been able to help with)

[up][up][up] Some Americian biker police do. Or, at at least they used to...

No, no, Chips is the young, Fit pegasi. There's another pegasi who's fat and lazy and only carries the search light. Fish, or something. Maybe Gravy.

Chips and Gravy? Is that a thing? I know I tend to have a fries with gravy a lot, and my family calls them chips, so...

[up] Dat idea!

Take Chips current character, and rename him Gravy.

Chips is now a young, fit pegasus cop...and female?

[up][up] Yeah Chips and Gravy is a thing. That sounds like it could work. (I don't remember a young pegasi being mentioned before though.)

at least my idea is still being used. kegi always steals my thunder by being a good writer.

Is Chips still called Fishen Chips?

So, we have:

Constable Peeler Copper Plod: A highly competant but boarderline over zealous Earth Pony beat officer.

Bobbie: Peelers dog.

Consatble Fishin Chips: A young (rookie?) pegasi traffic officer. Prehaps a mare?

Constable Beef Gravy: Lazy, overweight living searchlight.

Aw, Sorry Ginger. I had suggested that we had a pair of pegasi - one older and fat, and one young and fit - but I guess ti must have slipped by. Chips could still be called Fishen Chip, but it would sort of make Chips and Gravy redundant then, wouldn't it? Though I suppose it's still pretty unny as a standalone.

Not sure about Chips being a mare, but it might not be a bad idea to have a mare on the team

[up]I think we also talked about an old Vet called Old Bill or something, a desk jockey, and an inspector/forensic detective.

Gravy still outranks Chips though. So when they're both out on traffic detail, Gravy constantly gives Chips (bad) advice that he either knows already (from Peeler) or already knows that he SHOULDN'T do. [lol]

Gravy would constantly hold Chips back from chasing minor perps because it'd be too much work

[up] Is there a suitably punny name for Gravy as well?

Actually, making Chips a hetro male could be funny:

Peeler: That Rainbow Dash! She's a nusicance!

Gravy: A pain!

Chips: And a babe! What...she is. tongue

@Ginger: Gravy Train. It's a job that involves no work.

[up]Hah! That'd be pretty funny. Having a younger 'green horn' amongst them would be interesting. Given that there are actual citizens with horns, it could make for a few good gags, too. Like, maybe the detective is green, so whenever Chips get's called a greenhorn he pokes his head in, thinking somepony was talking to him.

Desk Jockey the Desk Sergeant could be a snarky middle aged mare...a unicorn.

Old Bill is one year away from retirement.

And the Inspecter? Maybe they could just be...the Inspecter. Like the Mayor?

[up] That's gold. grin

There should be a mare. Maybe an upright unicorn who is terrible at magic and often screws up because of that. But she means well.

The inspectors name could Be Inspector Detective. He has a run in with another detective from Canterlot, named... Detective Inspector. Just so I finally have an excuse to use this exchange:

  • "Detective Inspector, how do you do?"
  • "Inspector Dectective. Quite fine, and you?"

Chips: That dude was just going 5 miles over the speed limit! Shouldn't we go after him, Gravy?

Gravy: Fugedabboutit! (munch)

Chips: Oh, Ok. Gravy! That one was going 10 miles over the limit. We should after him, right?

Gravy: Fugedabboutit! (munch)

Chips: Oh, Ok. Gravy! That stallion's got a kidnapped mare on his back!

Gravy: Fugedabboutit... (Chips glares at him) Allrite, FINE! [lol]

I still like the idea of them having a high class Norman Jayden style forensic investigator from Canterlot on staff. Who'd be a unicorn.

Can't think of a name for him though

Also, now I'm imagining a The Bill style credits sequence where we just see Peeler's hooves walking away from the screen [lol]

Yeah, I like the idea too - I'd lumped him in with the dectective, just because I like old syle detective work too. He does old fashioned investigations, but he's got the forensics know-how to do the fancy stuff too. I dunno, maybe he just likes finding the evidence on his own.

Inspector Detective doesn't really work as a name though. He needs a nice pun, like the rest of them... shame I don't know that much about detectives/investigators. Maybe Hard Boiled, or something? And for added fun, maybe he's nothing like the typical hard boiled dective? I'd always seen him as a sort of frazzled, sleep deprived, 'quirky' sort.

[up] I pictured him as the sort of guy who'd just came to crime scenes if they needed a bit of unicorn magic to thoroughly scan the area (not like Norman's glasses, more like ultra precise telekinesis, stuff like that)

at the station he'd stick to himself and his case notes. When it comes to evidence analysis, there's none better, he just doesn't like going outside.

Hm... maybe there's a pair of them, and they work together? A forensics investigator, and an old fashioned detective?

I'm pretty certain every police operation needs a detective, after all. Someone who can find evidence, interview witnesses, put clues together, etc. etc.
