Chief Edward Simpson is the chief of police and security in New York. Chief Simpson makes repeated efforts to undermine Dallas's investigation into the death of Sharon DeBlass, going so far as to tell the press that DeBlass was not murdered and therefore her death was not connected to the serial killer attacking New York prostitutes. This causes Dallas to become suspicious of Simpson. Dallas checks into Simpson's financials and learns that he has been taking kickbacks and paying blackmail to Sharon DeBlass. Dallas arranges for these financial records to become public, ending Simpson's career.
