* TokenGoodCop: In "Cop Out", the Ridgeport, Connecticut PD are revealed to all be dirty, with Chief Jack Sanderson being their ringleader. Under Sanderson, the PD regularly skim cash and goods off the city port ranging into millions, as well as beating into silence or flat out murdering any witnesses. Sanderson ensures the corruption by killing any officers who don't get with the program or forcing them to kill others so he has them in his pocket. However, Deputy Chief Paula Deinecher is still honest and tries her best to expose Sanderson's corruption, to the point of recruiting an ally from the Boston PD to go undercover to find the evidence to bring him down. Sanderson has her murdered for this, but Paula's actions still lead to the FBI uncovering the corruption.

Added DiffLines:

* BerserkButton: Pollack is a sucker for families and targeting one in any way is a surefire way to piss him off.


Added DiffLines:

* EveryoneHasStandards: Pollack is a generally selfish person, but he has a particular disdain for people who [[DomesticAbuser hurt their own spouses]] in any way. Both times it happens, he outright threatens to kill the perpetrator unless they follow his orders directly.


Added DiffLines:

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Pollack pulls this maneuver on Stephen Dawson in "Off The Grid", telling him that he could freely murder the PI right in his office and he'd be able to pull strings to get away with it.


Added DiffLines:

* SuddenDownerEnding: [[spoiler:"Off The Grid"]] originally has a plainly happy ending - the perp, the victm's husband, has been caught, the victim is safe, and Jess is enjoying a date with another agent. [[spoiler:Then Jess gets a vision that the husband is going to kill her, and he shoots her to death just seconds before the FBI can save her]].

Added DiffLines:

* HiddenDepths: At first glance, Pollack seems like nothing more than a transparently arrogant douchebag who cares for nothing but himself and can't back up his boasts. Over time, however, he gradually peels back his layers to reveal a surprisingly complicated person, even while never letting up on the arrogant posturing; he clearly cares for his agents, gives Jess a genuine hug after a traumatic experience, loves children (and they love him back), and despite not claiming any adherence to any personal faith, he's well-versed in religions and cultures across the world.

* ExactWords: In "Mr. Nobody", Jess tells a woman who hired a hitman that if she gives up the target, she won't be charged as an accessory. When the woman gives up the target, Jess points out that the actual crime for hiring a hitman is solicitation and arrests her for that instead.

Added DiffLines:

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Pollack is a self-admitted jackass whose first concern, even when other people's lives are at risk, is almost always his own self-interest. On the other hand, his self-interest and justice tend to align, he's a FriendToAllChildren, and does his best to keep everyone alive whether or not they agree with his methods.
