Throughout the course of the show, Tom mentors a procession of junior constables who join the Mount Thomas Police, frequently lecturing them on his philosophy for country policing. Over time, he is shown to develop an almost father-daughter dynamic with Maggie Doyle (Lisa McCune), and later with Amy Fox (Rachel Gordon). He also has a strong bond with P. J. Hasham built on their mutual respect for each other. His relationship with Kelly O'Rourke (Samantha Tolj) is somewhat different, having acted as a surrogate father for her since her father was killed in the line of duty.
