Rarity
Common. This figure appeared in multiple high-volume retail sets and a polybag, making it widely accessible to collectors.

Legs
Plain Dark Blue legs with no printing. Standard adult height. Part ID: 73338 / 970c00.
Accessories
Missing from image. This figure originally came with a white police officer's cap or a dark blue cap depending on the set, and often carried handcuffs or a flashlight.
Color Scheme
Primary Dark Blue with yellow skin accents. Secondary colors include gold (for the badge and belt) and light bluish gray for the hands.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and head. Detail includes individual pouches on the belt and textured lines on the radio. Classic LEGO alignment.
Variants
The head and torso are used across dozens of combinations. A notable variant includes the same torso but with a different head or with a tactical vest accessory.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include 'silvering' or fading on the gold badge and belt printing due to play. Check for 'arm cracks' (vertical splits on the side of the torso) and loose hip friction.
Estimated Value
Current market value is approximately $1.50 - $2.50 USD in 'Used' condition. 'New' (pulled from sealed sets) can reach $3.00 - $4.00 USD.
Price (New)
Appeared in sets ranging from $5.99 (Polybag/Starter Sets) to $99.99. As a generic City figure, it has a low individual price-per-unit ratio.
Compatible Sets
Sets 60138 (High-speed Chase), 60139 (Mobile Command Center), 60141 (Police Station), and 30352 (Police Car Polybag).
Character Background
A generic officer of the LEGO City Police Force. This specific face print is often associated with 'cool' or higher-ranking patrol officers in LEGO City media and promotional animations.
Design Notes
The torso represents the shift in the late 2010s toward more detailed, realistic utility belts and equipment on generic City figures compared to the simplistic 2000s designs.
Similar Minifigures
cty0745 (similar torso, different head), sw0869 (Resistance Officer with similar torso color), and various other City Police variants from 2016-2020.
Collectibility
Low-to-moderate. Useful for army building or populating a City layout, but lacks the unique 'named character' appeal found in Star Wars or Marvel themes.
History
This uniform style defined the 'mid-range' City Police era (2017-2019) before the theme shifted toward the 'LEGO City Adventures' TV show characters like Duke DeTain.
Interesting Facts
The head printing with aviator sunglasses is one of the most reused faces in LEGO history, appearing on pilots, police, and secret agents across various themes.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a lineup of City emergency services or inside a Police-themed MOC. Looks best when paired with the white brimmed officer cap (Part 30135).
Modification Potential
Excellent. The dark blue torso and legs are popular for creating custom tactical units, security guards, or 'flesh-tone' police officer conversions.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential modern LEGO City figure. While not a high-value investment piece, it is a sturdy, well-designed figure that serves as a cornerstone of any modern LEGO town collection.
