Chief Lewis Hartley is a minor character in the movie who heads up the investigation into the Windsor College murders, has a thorough disdain for Cotton and ends up assigning two cops to act as Sidney's bodyguards.
Chief Hartley is in fact played by Lewis Arquette, father of David, a veteran character actor who amassed 140 acting credits over a quarter-century acting career prior to his passing in 2001.
