Director of Public Affairs
The Director of Public Affairs (shortened as D.O.P.A.) is the upgraded version of the Public Relations Representative that can only be fought in the Chief Executive Officer's office in the Clubhouse in Bossbot Headquarters. The D.O.P.A. is one of the three Directors that are fought at the end of the Drowsy Dreamland taskline. He is accompanied with the Director of Land Development and Derrick Hand.
The Final Task (for now) in the game involves the Toons infiltrating a meeting between the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer. After arriving at the meeting disguised, the Toons sees the Chief Executive Officer already giving directives for three immensely powered up Cogs to take the places of the previous three that the player had defeated during the Main Taskline.

Trivia
- Public affairs are an engagement between businesses/organizations and the public.
- Prior to his hiring at COGS Inc., the D.O.P.A. worked as a radio show host for "Suitopia FM".
- The D.O.P.A. is theoretically the strongest out of the three Directors, as his Multi-Level Marketing cheat can stack indefinitely and cannot be countered by luring him.
- In the v1.3.0 QA session, the D.O.P.A. originally did not have any unique voice clips. They were added during one of the final play sessions before its closure.
- According to a Blogpost, C.O.G.S. Inc. sees the D.O.P.A. as the P.R.R.'s replacement.
