Just like Kevin Spacey's self-introduction of "Plumber" in the first episode of House of Cards, Jay is undoubtedly the best lubricant and buffer for dredging the entire BPD between the upper and lower levels. The lecherous, flattering, and bloated figure can't conceal his wisdom in handling internal relations. He is the person who makes the best use of the combination of reality and reality in this play. He is a perfect middle class in the workplace. He is also a good policeman. He does not have the bravery and enthusiasm of Jimmy and the experience and skills of Lester, but he has his own performance. The way of his professional ethics, in many cases, precisely because of his existence, "The Police work" is not completely transformed into a pile of beautified and useless data, and becomes a bargaining chip in the game between the upper class and the politician.
In addition, Jay's speech skills are quite good, which should depend on the learned side that he didn't show us in the play. Compared with Clay Davis's artful debate, his almost solemn, quoting and sharp "career reviews" are more wise and sincere. Therefore, this has become the default of every BPD police officer when he passes away or leaves the police station. A ritual of Detectives also represents the respect and recognition of Detectives.
