In RoboCop, what is the police officer’s name before he becomes the cyborg?

In RoboCop, the police officer’s name before he becomes the cyborg is Alex Murphy.

Alex Murphy is a Detroit police officer who is attacked and fatally wounded by criminals in the 1987 film RoboCop. Omni Consumer Products then uses his remains and recorded police data in the development of RoboCop, a heavily armored cyborg law-enforcement officer.

As RoboCop, Murphy is programmed to serve the public, protect the innocent, uphold the law, and avoid harming officers. His memories gradually return, however, especially after he encounters people and places connected with his former life. The conflict between corporate programming and personal identity drives the film’s story.

Murphy is partnered with Officer Anne Lewis, and the crime boss responsible for his attack is Clarence Boddicker. Dick Jones is a senior OCP executive, not Murphy’s former identity. The character’s full designation in the film is often styled “Alex J. Murphy,” although the first name and surname are the key canonical answer.
