Klauss was a 21st century Toronto City Police officer in 2022.
Klauss was on duty in downtown Toronto during the Lake Ontario Bridge bombing. While drinking his Tim Hortons coffee, he noticed a Dodge Challenger Hellcat speed by, breaking several traffic laws. Klauss, along with two of his colleagues, pursued and intercepted the car, driven by James T. Kirk with La'an Noonien-Singh as his passenger.
Klauss and his colleagues attempted to arrest Kirk for driving without a license and breaking traffic laws, however, photographer Sera apprehended them, pretending to stream the arrest live via her cell phone as evidence of "police brutality". After Klauss and his colleagues were called to the bombing site by a police dispatcher, he let off Kirk with a warning. (SNW: "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow")
Klauss was played by Luke Marty.
While his name was not stated in dialogue or credits, it can be read on the name tag on his uniform.
