Adam Bryce Cooper was a fictional character in the Australian police drama series Blue Heelers. He joined the cast in late 1994 while the programme was still in its first season. He was transferred to Mount Thomas as his first station straight from the police academy at age 19 and took Roz Patterson’s place when she was dismissed from her employment as the station’s administration officer for accessing confidential police records. Adam was a bright spark of an officer with plenty of potential and plenty of questions. He was very young for a police officer and could appear slightly immature at times though he had a good heart and love for his job. He is the Ninth Longest character behind Tom, Chris, PJ, Maggie, Ben, Nick, Jo and Jones.
Season 1 for Adam mainly focused on his introduction to and breaking-in at the station. The first time Adam appeared in the series, he was at the academy and Wayne Patterson had travelled there himself to complete further study. It was here that Adam and Wayne met and Wayne began to show his dislike towards Adam. Adam managed to say all the wrong things and act the wrong way which irritated Wayne. This finished in Adam and Wayne having a violent confrontation and Adam finally decided to leave him alone. When he arrived at the station, he was the newest officer there and appeared a little out-of-place with all the mature officers.
Early in Season 2, Adam was bitten by a bouncer (Terry Serio) who was HIV positive in an attempt to capture and arrest him. He was terrified at the prospect of dying at a young age, and thankfully his test results a few weeks later turned out to be negative for the condition. After a shaky start, Adam begun to fit in a little more at the station. He also started a physical relationship with Chris Riley, but the relationship ended in the season finale when he had intercourse with Gina Belfanti. Adam's brother visited him in the same episode, an argument took place after his older brother was accused of rape. Overall, Adam matured a little and started to fit in a lot more in Season 2.
As a valued member at Mount Thomas, Adam went through another steady year as a Heeler in Season 3. He played a key role in proving Nick Schultz innocent when he was accused of killing a man who was in custody. Drama came for Adam in "Sex and Death" when he crashed his car while drag racing, he faced being sacked but luckily Chief Superintendent Clive Adamson decided against it. He was good mates with Jack Woodley, who was posted at Mount Thomas for a few weeks before getting sacked for fixing evidence. Adam also formed a strong early bond with Dash Mckinley, and Adam quickly became very fond of her. He saved Dash in a hostage situation in the season final, and drove Dash down to Melbourne to visit her sick mother in hospital.
