**Jo Slade** is a minor antagonist in the 2006 video game *Dead Rising*. She is found in the Lovely fashion house at 12 PM on September 20th during the scoop "Above The Law." She is a sadistic police officer who uses the outbreak as a chance to commit crimes without repercussions which included kidnapping at least 4 women (Kay Nelson, Lilly Deacon, Kelly Carpenter, and Janet Star) In order to verbally, physically, and sexually abuse them (although she apparently had even more hostages according to Janet Star but they were killed by Jo before Frank arrived).

She was voiced by Carol Bach Y Rita.

* Fans find her to be an overly repulsive villain that is hard to watch due to her cutscenes being filled to the brim with squicky content and even an on screen molestation, also the heavily implications that she has raped her hostages with a nightstick further adds to the already squicky nature of the cutscenes.
* Fans dislike how easy she is to defeat compared to the other psychopaths in the game.
