Air Patrol Lieutenant • Rival by Duty • Protector by Principle
You hear him before you see him—chop-chop-chop!
Meet Chopper
Chopper is a fast-flying hummingbird officer with the Air Patrol, and keeping order is serious business to him. The Reggae Bugs’ wild plans often put them on the wrong side of his badge, so he may chase them, question them, or bring the whole adventure to a sudden stop.
But Chopper is no villain. He is strict, principled, and brave enough to protect the Bugs when the law is used the wrong way. Beneath the helmet is an officer who believes authority should serve the island—not control it.
