Biography
Eddie and Lou are police officers with the Springfield Police department. Neither of their surnames has ever been shown. In "The Frying Game", Lou says that they don't have surnames, much like Cher.
Lou is the police sergeant, and, by far, the most intelligent and competant officer of the Springfield Police. He is used as a foil to Chief Wiggum, and often takes the time to point out Wiggum's mistakes (often while a crime, or the pursuit of a criminal is still in progress).
Although he has never stated so explicitly, other characters have intimated that he is a graduate of Princeton University. Following his undergratuate career, Lou applied and was accepted to law school at an unspecified university, but was forced to drop out as he could not afford the tuition. At one point, before the series' inception, Lou was married to a woman named Amy. Lou was based on Lou Whitaker according to season one DVD commentary. Hank Azaria based Lou's voice on Sylvester Stallone.[1] "Bart of War" shows Lou is then divorced from his wife. He complains occasionally that Eddie has been seeing his ex-wife, causing Chief Wiggum to act as mediator. Lou's largest role was in "Stop, Or My Dog Will Shoot!", where he is featured prominently as the new owner of Santa's Little Helper. This episode reveals Lou has a girlfriend named Charquelle who had wanted to party with him.
Eddie rarely speaks, though he is always there at every case with Lou and Chief Wiggum. In "Separate Vocations", Eddie admits he loves being a cop because it makes him feel like he is "making a difference". One episode ("See Homer Run") implied Eddie was gay, due to his unusual body movements and Chief Wiggum's comment of "It's a wonder why he can't get a girlfriend". Eddie is white while Lou is black although both were white in the early episodes.
