About

South Park's most prominent officer of the law and arguably its most trusted authority figure, Officer Barbrady may not be smart, or even literate, but he's usually around when you need him. Sometimes. Though he is often an oaf, there are hints of Barbrady being more aware than he may seem, covering up the existence of CIA helicopters, questioning tactics to use against the ATF forces, interrogating suspects, and providing kids with useful information... like where to find prostitutes.

He was initially the only member of the South Park Police, sending the town into chaos when he briefly resigned in "Chickenlover", but since he began taking reading classes has been joined by the Park County Police Department, boasting a much-expanded police force. Barbrady has also been promoted to Chief-of-Police, a role he rarely asserts. (Because he doesn't want to.) He still patrols the town and makes arrests however, and even occasionally masturbates on duty.

He is married, but his wife has never been seen. He has twice been caught in compromising positions with Mayor McDaniels, who is either his lover or secretly his wife.
