Although Captain Harold Dobey frequently lost patience with Starsky and Hutch, annoyed by their apparent disregard for his instructions and their love of practical jokes, he was always supportive of their crime fighting efforts.

In the pilot episode, the role of Captain Dobey was played by Richard Ward.
