Eugene Chaffee

Eugene Chaffee is a scheming businessman and the determinant final antagonist of the 2016 video game, This is the Police.

Chaffee, under the pseudonym, Robespierre, as a reference to the French politician of the same name, builds up the identity of an anti-establishment figure against the current administration of incumbent Mayor Rogers.

He later gets in contact with Chief of Police Jack Boyd in hopes of building an alliance between them. He reveals his insider connections including Deputy Mayor Troy Starr, a mole planted by Chaffee, as well as his involvement in the Dentist killings, having hired a large, intimidating woman to murder the rape victims of Mayor Rogers to get him unwanted attention ahead of the mayoral election.

Following Boyd's overdose, Boyd wakes to find Chaffee running for mayor against Rogers in the final days of his tenure as chief of police.

Role In-Game
Chaffee plays no role in act one, only his mischievous acts as Robespierre get mention in cutscenes.

In act two, Chaffee introduces himself to Boyd and routinely meets with him in several cutscenes where he attempts to gain Boyd's trust ahead of his plan to run for office. The Dentist, a serial killer terrorizing Freeburg and murdering women with close ties to Mayor Rogers (which we later discover are his former rape victims), is revealed by Chaffee as orchestrated killings by a large woman under his payroll to help weaken Rogers ahead of the mayoral election. Chaffee will also begin sending Boyd secret messages in his daily newspapers documenting his current relationship with City Hall, the mafia, and later Boyd's police employees.

In act three, Chaffee reveals himself as Robespierre and as Mayor Rogers's opponent ahead of the mayoral election. Upon Boyd's first meeting with Chaffee following his overdose, Chaffee requests Boyd's assistance in defeating Rogers through an assault on City Hall, promising a large cash reward. He also reveals he has destroyed either the Sands or Vargas (depending on who Boyd sided with in act one), Boyd's mafia allies, eliminating all prior advantages they previously provided Boyd.

Police officers will have hidden political affiliations, either supporting Chaffee or Rogers, and won't work well with other cops of differing political ideology. Only through paying the Labour Union and assigining one of the current cops as a snitch, can the player discover which cop sides with who.

End Game
Both Chaffee and Rogers betray Boyd, in Chaffee's ending, Chaffee becomes mayor and will demand Boyd resign as chief of police, but will give Boyd a bag containing "enough money to last [Boyd] the rest of [his] life." One dollar.

In Rogers endings, Chaffee is murdered as Boyd launches an assault on his restaurant under Rogers's orders.
