Chief McBrusque is the one of secondary antagonists (the other is Scuttlebutt) of An American Tail: Treasure of Manhattan Island. He is a ferocious and overweight former chief of the NYPD (New York City Police Department), and a very strict and harsh mouse who speaks with an Irish accent.
He enjoys beating and causing trouble to the other mice of New York. He, like the factory owners, is suspicious of Papa and sees him as a trouble-maker. When he followed Fievel and the others to the underground cave there was a battle between the Indians and the police. Eventually the police surrendered and were believed to have left. Then as Fievel was about to set the gun powder, McBrusque and Scuttlebutt returned for round two only to drown in the river after Fievel set the gun powder. He has never been heard of ever since.

Trivia[]
- He and Scuttlebutt are the only antagonists in the American Tail series to die.
- He was voiced by Sherman Howard, who also voiced Derek Powers in Batman Beyond.
- Despite being a secondary antagonist, Chief McBrusque is one of the most evil villains in the American Tail film series (alongside his superiors and Warren T. Rat from the first film) because of his cruelty to the workers and others. He even threatened Fievel to burn him with his torch during their final confrontation before Fievel fights back and defeats him. He is also shown to be more dangerous than the main antagonist, Mr. Grasping.
