Excellent detail and personality to the image.
I was thrown at first, because at a glance the half a stop sign looked like a crooked staff. :)

Now - he's either a sheep police officer - armed with a crook (in English crook has 2 meanings - a slang term for a criminal - and the pole that farmers use to catch sheep).
Or he's a butterfly police officer - armed with a butterfly net,
Or - he's in the reflection squad - armed with a long handled mirror - so that he always looks his best!

He is meant to be a traffic cop with a no entrance traffic sign that he is pointing at. Probably you are in your car just out of sight smiling sheepishly asking him if you've done anything wrong

Perhaps police officers perform different functions in different countries (I count 5 countries in the comments list so far)!
U.K. officers, John Robertshaw, appear to be responsible for the strangest tasks!
Even in the U.S., police officers direct traffic at accident scenes--but they use hand signals. So I imagine this police officer (who also has a PhD in philosophy (they can't get teaching jobs)) is taking a moment to meditate on the existential meaning of "stop." This might explain his bemused expression.
Or perhaps he is wondering why a stop sign makes Prikichi wonder if she's doing something wrong... ;)

In Australia it is usually council workers or similar who stand there holding lollipop signs saying slow on one side and stop on the other, while their coworkers dig holes in the road or whatever.
