Officer Jenny (Japanese: ジュンサー Junsar, usually referred to as ジュンサーさん Junsar-san) is the name by which the police officers who use Pokémon in their duties are referred to.
In the anime
Character
Officer Jenny is not a single entity. Rather, there are many Jennys working as police officers across the various regions of the Pokémon world.
Generally, Officer Jennys are brave and determined, but can be ineffective in their police duties. They fight against the likes of Team Rocket, Team Magma, Team Aqua and Team Galactic - among other miscellaneous criminals. Although there are many exceptions, Officer Jenny will generally have Growlithe to use as a police dog.
Although Jennys appear to be identical, there is some minor divergence among them, as evidenced by Brock. Brock is able to recognize different Jennys on numerous occasions; he appears to be the only character who can tell the Officer Jennys apart. The town/region where a certain Jenny comes from can be discerned by the symbol on their hats, which differs depending on location. There seem to be two Viridian Jennys, as during the Indigo League, two Jennys with the same hat symbol (previously stated to belong to the Viridian City Jenny) were seen side-by-side. The Jennys of the Orange Archipelago are outfitted with uniforms of a distinctly lighter blue color, and the Officer Jenny of LaRousse City is seen wearing a different uniform to all her counterparts, it being a far more elaborate version than the others (although it does retain the standard coloring and basic design scheme). The Unova region is home to Officer Jennys that look distinctly different than those of other regions. The Unova Officer Jennys all have a tan-colored uniform, unlike the other Jennys that wore blue. Additionally, the Jennys of Unova don a much shorter hairstyle.
When the series became digitally animated in Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid, starting with Love, Pokémon Style Jenny's hair was colored in more of a greenish blue to match her Sugimori artwork. Before this, her hair appeared to be more blue in color.
There is a very distinct parallel between the families of Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy, Don George and Porter. This may indicate some sort of relation or deeper connection. However, the only thing known about the four families is that they are apparently on good terms.
History
In the Original series
Kanto
Officer Jenny made her debut in Pokémon Emergency. She was seen at the beginning of the episode warning the citizens of Viridian City of thieves in the area and to report suspicious-looking people immediately. Stopping Ash, who had his Pikachu in his arms, she suspected him of being a thief, but once she saw his Pokédex, she believed that he was a Pokémon Trainer, while also mentioning that three other Trainers had come through Viridian that day. Using her motorcycle, she brought Ash to the Pokémon Center, and once Pikachu was in the hands of Nurse Joy, she left. After Team Rocket broke into the Pokémon Center, however, she made her way back, but appearing just in time to see the center exploding from a combination of Pikachu's Thunder Shock and Koffing's Smog attacks.

Vermilion City
- Before obtaining the Thunder Badge
- "I just caught a Squirtle that was always getting into mischief. I think it needs a good trainer to get it straight."
- After obtaining the Thunder Badge
- "You have the Thunder Badge!? You must be a good trainer! I just caught a Squirtle that was always getting into mischief. Would you take good care of it?"
- No: "Oh... What am I to do now?"
- Yes: (after giving the Squirtle to the player) "OK! Please treat Squirtle right!"

In the manga
In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga
An Officer Jenny makes a brief cameo in The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga. She appears in a helicopter chasing after Team Rocket in the chapter Pikachu's Excellent Adventure. Generic police officers appear in the manga as well.
It is stated that Brock is the only character that can tell the Officer Jennys apart.
In the movie adaptations
Officer Jenny appeared in The Archdjinni of the Rings: Hoopa.
Trivia
- In The Water Flowers of Cerulean City, the Officer Jenny of Cerulean City refers to the one in Viridian City as her sister-in-law. This implies that one of them is married, probably the one in Viridian City since the Cerulean Jenny didn't mention a spouse when Brock asked her out.
- Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy and Don George all have Japanese names that begin with the kana ジ, while their English names all start with the same sound, dʒ. They also all happen to be part of a large, extended family.
- Similar to Nurse Joy, Jenny is a last name, Marble being one example.
- The Officer Jennys in Kanto, the Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh can be told apart by the design of the symbol on their hat, while the Jennys of Unova and Kalos are told apart by the color of the symbol.
