Page "Dale Cooper" Paragraph 7

Much like how he relates to the town itself, Cooper gains an instant rapport with many of the townspeople on arrival to Twin Peaks-most particularly Sheriff Harry S. Truman and his deputies, Deputy Tommy " Hawk " Hill and Deputy Andy Brennan.

While Truman is initially skeptical of Cooper's unconventional investigation methods and other-worldly ideas, he is most often willing to accept Cooper's judgment.

( Even referring to Cooper as " the finest lawman I have ever known " to agents investigating Cooper's alleged drug-running to Canada ).

Over time, a deep bond emerges between the two, as displayed in various scenes: when Truman assists Cooper in rescuing Audrey Horne from One-Eyed Jack's, Truman deputizing Cooper following Cooper's suspension from the Bureau, and Truman waiting patiently for two days at Glastonberry Grove for Cooper to emerge from the Black Lodge in the series finale.
