His original design as seen in the book series
Tintin told him he had caught Al Capone, but he didn't believe him, as he hit him with a police baton. He then called one of his colleagues to detain him while trying to refute Tintin's actions of capturing the gangster, which indeed, in fact, Tintin did.
Tintin tried to convince Officer Tom about what happened, but then Tom started chasing him. Luckily, Tintin escaped as he and another officer bumped into each other.
