Character Background
A standard peace officer for the LEGO City Police Department, typical of the 2014 era 'Crooks vs. Cops' play cycle.

Similar Minifigures
cty0458 (Police Officer with stubble), cty0401 (Forest Police), and various other City Officers from the 2014 wave.
Collectibility
Low - strictly a 'background' character for City dioramas, though essential for completing 2014-era police stations.
History

Best displayed in a lineup at a 60047 Police Station or inside a police cruiser MOC.
Modification Potential
High; head and torso are generic enough to be used for secret agents, pilots, or security guards.
Overall Assessment
A quintessential LEGO City staple. While not high in monetary value, it is a sturdy, well-designed figure that serves as a cornerstone of the 2014 City reboot.
