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 {{p|Growlithe}} to use as a police dog.

Although Jennys appear to be identical, there is some minor divergence among them, as evidenced by {{an|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 {{ci|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.

===History===

Officer Jenny made her debut in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. She was seen at the beginning of the episode warning the citizens of Viridian City of [[Team Rocket Trio|thieves in the area]] and to report suspicious-looking people immediately. Stopping Ash, who had his {{AP|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 {{ci|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 {{TRT}} 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 {{m|Thunder Shock}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}}'s {{m|Smog}} attacks. She stayed and helped [[Nurse Joy]] through the morning, assuring her that Ash and Misty will have no trouble getting through the [[Viridian Forest]].

An Officer Jenny in [[HopHopHop Town]] in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'' investigates missing children as she placed posters of them for each one. She, along with Ash and {{ashfr}}, find the source of the sleep waves which were causing the children to wander off in the [[Pokémon Lover's Club]].

After Ash and his friends mistaken the officer as an actual thief, Officer Jenny recruited them to her training unit. Officer Jenny began training the group at four in the morning in which Ash struggled with the obstacle course.

In ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down]]'', Officer Jenny took care of a swarm of Gulpin that were eating all the food in a town.

In ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]'' an Officer Jenny from [[Eterna City]] was summoned to the [[Eterna Historical Museum]]. The Officer Jenny from Viridian City was also there too.

In ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle!]]'', Officer Jenny competed in a [[Sinnoh Pokémon Hustle|Pokémon Hustle]].

In ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'', an Officer Jenny arrived in [[Striaton City]] when Dream Mist shrouded the city. At the [[Dreamyard]], she discovered that the Team Rocket trio were responsible for the Dream Mist and questioned their appearance in Unova despite being Kanto-based. After Team Rocket got away using {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}}'s {{m|Gust}}, Officer Jenny went after them. Another Officer Jenny chased after Team Rocket in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'' after hearing about the incident in the Dreamyard. However, Officer Jenny was unable to catch them as they escaped with the help of [[Pierce]].

In ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]'', after Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} were trapped in a dream created by [[Leon]]'s {{p|Beheeyem}}, Officer Jenny helped the group to escape the dream. They had to acknowledge that they were in the dream but since Meowth was still asleep, they were unable to get out. However, after Meowth {{m|Fury Swipes|fury swiped}} Leon, the group were able to escape the dream and Leon was then arrested by Officer Jenny.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Officer Jenny and another police officer evacuated the [[Lumiose City]] area when a {{p|Garchomp}} was on a rampage.
