Officer Dick
Officer Dick is a fictional character. He appeared in multiple titles, this includes THPS, THPS2, THPS2x, THPS3, THPS4 (can be assembled in CAS mode), THPSHD, and in THPS1+2.
THPS2 Bio
"As a youth, poor Richard Ennvee was deemed a 'Poser' by other skaters. Distraught and overtaken, by the need for revenge, Dick vowed to some day become what those skaters feared most... the long arm of the law!"
Origin
In the TV commercial for the N64 port of THPS, Tony Hawk is followed by three fat cops on skateboards. His name is probably a reference to the constant conflict between skaters and police officers.
Outfit
Officer Dick usually wears a typical, unclean, US police uniform. In THPS2, there is an alternate outfit which has Officer Dick in red, polka-dot boxers and a greasy wife-beater. In the PS1 version of THPS3, Officer Dick appears to be wearing a SWAT uniform.
