Police

The Policeman, often referred to as Stewart Copeland's character, is a recurring figure in The Police's music videos and live performances. He is not a formally named character with a detailed backstory, but rather a visual trope that represents the band's name and the concept of law enforcement, often in a satirical or humorous manner.

Copeland, the band's drummer, portrays the Policeman with varying degrees of seriousness, often wearing a stylized police uniform. His appearances are typically brief and absurdist, contributing to the band's overall image of blending rock, reggae, and punk with a touch of irreverence.

The Policeman's role is largely symbolic. He adds a theatrical element to the band's presentation, emphasizing the "Police" aspect of their moniker and playing with societal perceptions of authority. He isn't a specific individual, but a representation of the band's identity.
