Crooked Office

Crooked Officer is one of the badge-wearing antagonists Jack Pepper runs up against in Mouse: P.I. For Hire. Set in the corrupt 1930s city of Mouseburg, the Crooked Officer represents the rot inside the Mouseburg Police Department, rounding up innocent shrews and running an underground cheeselegging racket through the city’s sewers. Players encounter him during a pivotal boss chase sequence in the Wallop Bay chapter, where Jack Pepper must track him down, fight him off, and squeeze him for information about where Cameron Bozo is being held. The character fits the game’s core theme of institutionalized corruption, where the very forces meant to protect Mouseburg are the ones tearing it apart.

the Crooked Officer is voiced by Paul Cartwright, a Utah and Los Angeles-based voice actor with a background in musical theater who has worked with Disney Animation, Nintendo, and Epic Games. His most recognizable gaming credits include Salem in Fire Emblem Heroes and Winston Green in Deliver at All Costs (2025). The Japanese voice cast for MOUSE: P.I. For Hire has not been publicly detailed at a per-character level, so the Japanese voice actor for the Crooked Officer remains unconfirmed.
