In the games

Detective Pikachu

Brad is a lieutenant in the Ryme City Police Department. He is very dedicated to his work and works passionately to bring peace to Ryme City, but he's not very flexible in his thinking. He can hold a grudge, and he thinks very highly of himself at the expense of others. He has also been shown to jump to hasty conclusions, assuming a suspect's guilt based on circumstantial evidence.

He is first mentioned at the beginning of Chapter 4; when Frank Holiday recommends that Tim Goodman visit Cappucci Island, he mentions that Brad is on the island as well and can give Tim backup if needed. When Tim meets him for the first time, though, he is trying to arrest Dr. John Waals, the person that Tim came to the island to talk to. He's convinced that Dr. Waals is responsible for the strange fog that has been covering the nearby lake for the past week and all the injured Pokémon that have been found coming back from the lake. Milo Green insists that Dr. Waals would never do something like that, so Tim tells Brad that he's going to investigate himself and prove Dr. Waals's innocence. In response, Brad sets out to prove Dr. Waals's guilt.

Eventually, Tim proves that the fog at the lake was caused by wild Masquerain, who were using it to try to hide their friends from the wild Crawdaunt that had been injuring Pokémon at the lake. Brad does not take this as proof of Waals's innocence, insisting that Waals could have been the one to bring Crawdaunt to the lake in the first place. When Tim finally discovers that the culprit was Louise Mulligan, Brad concedes that Tim discovered the truth and arrests Louise. Afterwards, he takes the time to bring Crawdaunt back to his home, proving that he isn't a total jerk.

Brad reappears in Chapter 9. He has been informed by Inspector Holiday that R has been planted at three locations around the central square, so he and Manectric are helping search for it. Since the documents Tim found say that R has a slight but distinct scent, Brad thinks Manectric's nose will be acute enough to sniff it out. He's still annoyed that Tim is helping with police business, but since it's an emergency, he is willing to help Tim and told all officers to help as well.

When Tim finds a location that he thinks might contain R, he calls Brad and Manectric to come sniff it and determine if there's R there. Brad and Manectric help Tim corner the man who is going to disperse capsule R, allowing them to retrieve it. When Tim asks Brad for help, he agrees without complaint, demonstrating that he has gained some level of respect for Tim. Brad then leaves to conduct the interrogation of the man who was going to disperse capsule R.

Brad's Pokémon partner is Manectric. It has a very acute sense of smell, and it does not get along with Detective Pikachu.

Brad has several entries in Tim's case list:
