The torso and head are part of a modular system; similar officers exist with different headpieces or leg colors (e.g., standard blue vs. dark blue).
Condition Notes
Common wear includes 'neck cracks' on the torso and loose arm joints. The bandana can sometimes cause friction wear on the neck stud.

Compatible Sets

Character Background
A generic City police officer assigned to the Prison Island precinct, tasked with catching crooks attempting to escape the high-security facility.
Design Notes
The medium-blue shirt was a standard for City Police from 2014-2017. The use of the bandana accessory was unique to the 'Prison Island' wave to simulate a maritime or wind-shielding look.
Similar Minifigures
cty0617 (Police hooded), cty0475 (Police shirt with tie).
Collectibility
Low. This is considered 'bulk' or 'army builder' material rather than a high-end collector piece.
History
Represents the 2016 evolution of the City Police theme which moved away from urban precincts to more adventurous locales like swamps and islands.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a 'Police Officer', the bandana gives him an appearance often associated with LEGO 'Crook' minifigures, leading to many children swapping sides during play.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a large City Police station MOC or a Prison Island diorama with various police vehicles.
Modification Potential
Extremely high. The generic nature of the parts makes them perfect for creating custom civilian or security personnel for City builds.
Overall Assessment
A solid, era-appropriate City minifigure. While it lacks significant monetary value, it is a staple of 2010s LEGO City history and essential for completing mid-2010s sets.
