He sometimes gets into spats with Mayor Len Blustergas, but the two are not actually enemies.
Chief Bookem is a dutiful officer, but his age sometimes gets in the way, leaving him to often be exhausted.

Chief Bookem is known to be a hobbyist singer, though his lack of talent shows whenever he tries, as evidenced in Abusement Park. This particular aspect of Chief Bookem is explored slightly further in the episode eNeMeE Elementary, where he is appointed to be the music teacher.
