Editing Officer Barbrady (section)

==About==
Once South Park's most prominent officer of the law and arguably its most trusted authority figure, Officer Barbrady may not be intelligent, or even literate, but he's always friendly and willing to lend a hand... when you can find him. He may seem clueless and incompetent but there are hints he may be more aware and intelligent than he may seen, such as questioning the tactics of the ATF Agents, covering up the appearance of black CIA helicopters in the town, and occasionally providing the kids with useful information such as... where to find prostitutes. Despite his oafish behavior, he can take his job seriously when he's on a case he feels is of tantamount importance to public safety.

He was the only member of the South Park Police for quite some time, sending the town into chaos when he [[Chickenlover|briefly resigned]], but since he began taking reading classes he was joined by the [[Park County Police]] force, boasting a much-expanded department. Barbrady was also been promoted to Acting Chief-of-Police, a role he rarely asserted. ([[Fun With Veal|Because he didn't want to.]]) He still patrolled the town and makes arrests however, and even occasionally found the time to masturbate to ''Game of Thrones'' while on duty.

During an investigation into toilet papering, he revealed to [[Josh Myers]] that he underwent physical and sexual abuse as a child, perpetrated by his uncles. His father often forced him to dress up as a girl and sit on his uncles' laps during poker nights, and his Uncle Charles would often beat him with a belt. Myers surmises that Barbrady became a police officer because he wanted a sense of control over his life and those around him, though Tom the Newsman suggested he had a genuine desire to protect his town.

Off-duty, Officer Barbrady has a lonely life, living only in a small apartment with his elderly dog, who requires medication, a framed newspaper of saving the town from the [[Chickenlover]], and framed photographs of a woman who resembles him (possibly his wife or mother) and one of himself with [[Harrison Yates]]. He has mentioned having a wife at one point, but she has never been seen and does not appear to live with him anymore. He has twice been caught in compromising positions with [[Mayor McDaniels]], who is either his lover or perhaps secretly his wife.

After [[PC Principal]] called the police department over [[Leslie]]'s interference with his assemblies, Barbrady panicked and accidentally shot an unarmed six-year-old Latino-American child and was fired from the Police Department, and his comeback attempt was sadly ruined by [[Randy Marsh]]'s interference. Since then, he's given up shooting people, though he still joined in on the gun craze for a bit. He's not been seen since.
