PEOPO is the official mascot of the TMPD. His design was inspired by the concept of "TMPD that the public can relate to and trust in." He is the embodiment of the TMPD officers' hopes for the happiness and well-being of the public. PEOPO's features are evocative of cute animals. His antenna detects changes in society quickly; his big eyes watch society carefully; and his big ears listen to citizens closely. The name PEOPO is derived from "PEOple" and "POlice."
