Washington, D.C. Motorcycle Police Officer (recurring municipal patrol)

detached service-oriented methodical peripheral procedural supportive pragmatic anonymous professional institutional

A routinely anonymous Washington, D.C. patrol officer who represents municipal law enforcement across public scenes. He enforces order with brisk, by‑the‑book efficiency—conducting traffic stops, assessing on‑scene risk, and applying procedural discretion such as deciding whether a sobriety or blood‑alcohol test is warranted. His presence frames legal and safety boundaries around named principals, anchoring scenes in institutional authority. He rarely personalizes interactions; instead, he provides pragmatic triage and formal testimony that supports broader political and narrative consequences in the series.
