Krupke and Schrank are the police officers.
Most characters in West Side Story sing in chorus or solo. The exceptions are Officer Krupke and Doc.
In "West Side Story," the Jets dislike Officer Krupke because they see him as a symbol of authority that oppresses them. They perceive him as part of a system that fails to understand their struggles and backgrounds, often treating them unfairly. The Jets feel alienated and marginalized, leading to their disdain for Krupke, who represents the law and order they believe is stacked against them.
He is a priest and is not related to either rival clan. There is, probably for censorship reasons, no paralell character in West Side Story, unless one counts Officer ( also referred to as Sergeant) Krupke. He is obviously a cop.

In the original 1957 Broadway production of "West Side Story," the song "Gee, Officer Krupke" was performed by the character Action and the Jets gang members. The role of Action was originally played by actor and singer Ken LeRoy. In the 1961 film adaptation, the song was performed by the character of Action, portrayed by actor and singer Michael Callan.
A male jet who doesn't actually speak a script, but only sings in songs. I believe though that he has a singing/speaking part in 'Gee, Officer Krupke', where he immitates Krupke.
His name is Officer Krupke and he has a song later in the show.
No. The movie "The Young Savages" was released in 1961, whereas "West Side Story" first debuted on Broadway in 1957, and appeared on film in 1961, making it impossible for "Officer Krumpke" to be based off of "The Yoing Savages"
