Profile
Alan is the Chief of Police in Townville. He is a tall man with short straight black hair and white skin. When he's at work, he wears a dark blue coat with police badges and some copper stars on his shoulders, with a white shirt and a black tie underneath. In the right side of his coat, he wears a badge of the Townville Police Department. He cares a lot about his team and when someone does a good job, he often rewards them, as he did when he incorporated Octavius Keys to the team after the player and Lindsey told him that he was a great officer.

It is known that he is afraid of darkness, and that his wife comitted suicide some years ago.

Notable Case Events

 * Case #1, The Murdered Milker: Alan met the player for the first time in this case, and congratulated him/her after arresting a killer for the first time. He sent the player and Evan Day to investigate Cecilia Di Giappo, and became really insistent when the team couldn't find anything to incriminate her.
 * Case #4, The Crimes At Work: This was the first time when the team flagged the agronomer Robert Jamin as a suspect, and Alan told the team to investigate his company very hardly, as he was convinced that he was involved in illegal businesses. This same thing happened when the team included Steve Zasts in the suspects list for the first time.
 * Case #11, Murder Behind Bars: In this case, Alan wanted the team to arrest the killer as soon as possible because the Mayor couldn't believe that there was a murder in jail, as this was a proof that the security was failing and he'd lost his trust in the police. The Chief, along with Mayor Loas, promoted the player to the Commercial Area after arresting the culprit.
 * Case #14, The Corpse Which Smelled Right: Alan gave orders to the team to arrest the famous thief Doodley, known for leaving a grafitti in the places he robs. Doodley was in fact arrested, but got out of jail really soon thanks to his lawyer.
 * Cases #19, #20 and #21: During this cases, Chief Smith was really upset as Doodley had been set free and the player didn't arrest him, after having interrogated him as a murder suspect many times. In fact, Doodley said that he's forced to be a thief by some organization and that he'd be murdered if he went to jail ever again. The player believed him and didn't arrest him, making a promise to send him to jail once that this organization was brought down by the police.
 * Case #25, Red Waters: Alan warned both the player and Evan Day about interrogating politicians as murder suspects, because he was sure that they could take revenge against the police department.
 * Case #28, A Lethal Campaign: Chief Smith became the player's partner for the first time in this case.

Alan's wife died by suicide some years ago, so he's now a single. He had a daughter with his widow when he was 19 years old, but she's currently living in another city called Blue Coasts.
