Quickies: Officer Jenny, the Keeper of Order

At least a couple of times before, I've identified people of the real world as "Officer Jenny", the characters of the Pokémon world who keep the people and the world in line. I speak, of course, of police officers, whether or not they're of the same gender as the character. On one hand, they evoke a mix of emotions, for those who have to deal directly or indirectly with them. On the other hand, they have to be respected for their role in maintaining order in the public. And that makes for a neat discussion, even a quick one.

Some of the real "Officer Jenny" that I often see and a lot of people know keep order in a neat way: they observe traffic by cameras to look out for violations, while others report the situation at certain points in time live on TV. They have to have a lot of charisma to deal with violators that they observe as well as in reporting situations when it comes time to do so. They obviously don't enlist the help of Pokémon in doing so, but if the same thing happened there, Pokémon would certainly step in to help. Nevertheless, it's a task for any of them to be able to keep order in such circumstances.

One notable circumstance where Officer Jenny was involved was when order had to be maintained following an incident with a log truck and the fallen logs that resulted from that, which also had to involve Machamp in helping to move the logs out of the way. It's a situation where order definitely does need to be maintained and is likely to happen in real life as well, though without the possibility of Machamp coming in to aid things. It's also not as technologically advanced as the situation mentioned above, but it's par for the course for the Officer Jenny of both worlds.

Hopefully, one does not need to be involved (too deeply) with anyone that can bear the "Officer Jenny" name. But it is important to know that if anything, regardless of evoked emotions, they have to be thanked and quite respected for the order that they help to maintain among people and in worldly situations, as well as whether or not Pokémon is involved. Their job may or may not be any easier with or without Pokémon, but it's one that they'll have to do well for the good of public order.
