Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane
Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane is a fictional character best known as the bumbling yet lovable lawman of Hazzard County, Georgia, from the classic TV series The Dukes of Hazzard. Portrayed by James Best, Rosco first appeared in the 1975 film Moonrunners before becoming a central figure on the television show. Initially introduced as a serious, hard-nosed sheriff with over 20 years of service, Rosco’s character evolved into a comedic, childlike figure recognized for his distinctive “Kew-kew-kew” chuckle and colorful catchphrases like “Cuff 'em and stuff 'em!” His well-meaning but often clumsy attempts to uphold the law—especially in pursuits of the rebellious Duke cousins—are a defining trait. As the right-hand man and brother-in-law to corrupt county commissioner Boss Hogg, Rosco often finds himself torn between loyalty and his duties. Despite his frequent mishaps, including countless patrol car wrecks and comical missed shots, his heart is in the right place.
