Dr. Clay
Officer Oh is the first officer to respond to Ajeet’s 911 call about Jack. Though Jack has difficulty responding to Officer Oh’s questions due to a combination of shock, fear, and uncertain social skills, Officer Oh senses that Jack’s situation is very serious and refuses to give up on him. As she asks him an intense but attentive series of questions about where he comes from and what his life is like, Officer Oh begins unraveling the mystery of Room—and is able to direct her fellow officers to conduct a satellite search of local properties that have freestanding sheds with skylights. Due to Officer Oh’s care and attention, officials are able to find Room—and Ma. Officer Oh is also the one to accompany Ma and Jack back to Room at the very end of the novel, as they return to the site of their captivity to process their freedom and say goodbye.

[Ma’s] walking with me up on her hip, I cling onto her shoulders. It’s dark but then there’s lights quick quick like fireworks.
“Vultures,” says Officer Oh.
Where?
“No pictures,” shouts the man police.
What pictures? I don’t see any vultures, I only see person faces with machines flashing and black fat sticks. They’re shouting but I can’t understand. Officer Oh tries to put the blanket over my head, I push it off.
