Abe Vigoda played the character Phil Fish. That character was a detective, not a uniform police officer. If you are going to use tv cop jargon, get it right.
With a post as cryptic as this one, arriving from an unknown out of what appears to be the blue (no clue on my end at to the current connect, but am open to a lead) I'll hold with flatfeet, as well as one of a kind. It's my guess "one of a kind" would be a fit description for most who post and comment here, and many who still stop by to read.
From Poobala:
Barney Miller was a sitcom set in a New York police station. Barney was captain of an oddball group of cops...As played by actor Abe Vigoda, Fish was an older broken down wreck of a cop. He had big tired of the world eyes and a voice of low in tone and emotion it probably dragged on the floor. He was always complaining - not whining mind you. That would take energy. Fish had no energy. He was the immovable object trying to get itself going. http://www.poobala.com/barneyandfish.html

You have to be a flatfoot before you become a detective and Fish doubtless spent many years pounding a beat.

Phil Fish was one of a kind among TV's flatfeet.

Even more time pounding his pud.
Just sayn'
Aren't you thinking of Ernest Borgnine? It's an easy mistake to make - the resemblance is remarkable.
