Roly Beate
My warrant card, sah! Proof that I'm a London copper. It has the noble founding principles of the force written on it as a reminder to all us policemen of our sworn duty. To patrol the streets of London town and uphold the peace of the common man... SAH! And for such a noble cause, I cover twenty miles every single day without fail and without a grumble! Because the plodding of my boots is all Londoners need to hear to feel safe and secure!

So...fighting crime doesn't appear to come into it, then...

A warrant card is a Metropolitan Police Service officer's main piece of identification, and includes additional rules and guidelines for police officers. A warrant card belonging to Roly Beate was evidence in the trial of Soseki Natsume for the stabbing of Olive Green.

Roly Beate and his wife Patricia were the main witnesses to the incident. During their cross-examination, Roly explained that they were going to celebrate their wedding anniversary that day, and proudly showed his warrant card to lawyer Ryunosuke Naruhodo multiple times, even letting him borrow it. The cross-examination continued until it was revealed that the incident had occurred on Roly's beat, and he had moved the crime scene to the other side of Briar Road so that it would be within the neighbouring jurisdiction. The warrant card became the key for Naruhodo to understand why Roly had done this, as one of the rules prescribed within read:

When a crime is discovered on his beat, a policeman must assist with initial investigations and help detectives.

Namely, he had committed this act so that he could still have his one special day with Patricia.
