Hi, Paul Quinn! -> Alexander Koryagin

 AK>> What is "PC Plod"?
 PK> I think the English 'PC' means 'Police Constable'.  Therefore,
 PK> it seems that there is a copper named 'Police Constable Plod',
 PK> a flatfoot.

I also searched a little, and it also can be related to the British television
show about Noddy.

-----Beginning of the citation-----
Characters:
....
Mr. Plod (sometimes called PC Plod) is the Toyland policeman. He has an uneven
relationships with Noddy, who he thinks drives too fast and engages in other
unwarranted behaviour. He has gone so far as to imprison Noddy at least once,
and threatened him with imprisonment on other occasions. His catchphrase is
"Stop in the name of Plod!” He has not been featured in the franchise since
2009.
