I really enjoyed this part a lot. Yet again a really nice foreshadow of events to come Officer Arlo Lechit's question about a body building competition in town was an interesting one. It makes me wonder what Jerry and Tom's patrol will be like this day, as in will things be more obviously odd. I'm interested to see more of the officers in general, scruffy hares amuse me, and having the different animal species playing off each other worked really well here (with Jerry playing against type and being in the face of others having a good contrast to Lechit's more easily chagrined behavior). The nick name steak breath cause an amused smile. Chief Jones is an interesting character as introduced. I like that she's very standoffish and by the books, its a character type I always find fascinating, that said I do think she joked around a little too much after Lechit made his report it seemed out of character for her to note Tom's size in a joke. She seemed the type to be more clinical of the situation and ask for details perhaps leading to a minor dismissal of the idea of a "gut feeling of trouble" but noting it all the same. Jerry and Jones are a study in contrasts one being emotional and dismissive of power structure and the other clearly being immersed in it and being more measured. The two despite never talking to each other have a theoretical chemistry of conflict which I feel worked for the final paragraph. I do think the other officers might have needed a little more introduction perhaps some dialog interplay between them to create some rough characterization and perhaps yet again cement Tom's isolation. I also think I'd have liked to know bit more about these guys at the beach and if the hare had any details to telescope the scene. Perhaps allowing for the bear officer or others to make jokes about him being more afraid and the coyote not backing his partner up being less committal (by the way I did like the contrast between the coyote and hare and Jerry & Tom showing how loyal that rabbit is to the wolf). I remain interested and I'll enjoy seeing what comes next.
