-At the Bodyguard Academy, Leavelle's teaching style is based on constantly berating the cadets, as seen when [[Homer]] took the training course. In the end, Leavelle let them pass, and rewarded the entire graduating class by singing for them an impromptu rendition of "[[wikipedia:I Will Always Love You|I Will Always Love You]]", the theme song from [[wikipedia:The Bodyguard|''The Bodyguard'']]. However, he sang it so badly that the students all left, apparently interpreting the song as an indication that it was time for them to go.

-*Leavelle appears to be based upon, and probably named after, Detective {{W|Jim Leavelle}}, who was tasked with protecting {{W|Lee Harvey Oswald}} when the Texas State Police were transporting him to the county jail after the {{W|John F. Kennedy assassination|assassination}} of [[John F. Kennedy|President Kennedy]]. In the photograph of Oswald's murder, Leavelle is the large man in a white cowboy hat handcuffed to Oswald. The picture was taken just as {{W|Jack Ruby}} shot Oswald, mortally wounding him. The photo won a {{W|Pulitzer Prize}} and achieved iconic status, due in part to the shocked expression on Leavelle's face.
