Mr. Plod is a fictional character in the Noddy children's series by Enid Blyton.

He is a forthright police officer who never lets Toyland's crooks (especially Sly and Gobbo, the two goblins) escape from the "long arm of the law". He always pretends to know the problem, but can never quite figure it out. His catchphrase is "Halt, in the name of Plod!"

In later adaptations he is also known as P.C. Plod or Officer Plod.

The terms "Plod" and "PC Plod" have become slang terms – usually jocular or derogatory – for a policeman, or the police in general.[1]

In Noddy's Toyland Adventures, he was voiced by Jimmy Hibbert in the United Kingdom and Benedict Campbell in the United States, in Make Way for Noddy, he was voiced by Richard Newman, in Noddy in Toyland, he is voiced by Keith Wickham, and in Noddy, Toyland Detective, he is voiced by Robbie Coltrane.
