What movie/tv cops do/did you like?

Space Cop, from the movie “Space Cop”, portrayed by the magnificent Rich Evans.

Dirty Harry

Adam 12.

I enjoy the Lethal Weapon and Die Hard movies a lot.

I have almost every episode of Monk. Tony Shaloub made that character quite believable and entertaining.

Eddie Janko.

Detective Lenny Brisco.

And of course, how can anyone forget the immoral Lieutenant Frank Drebin, ace detective of Police Squad:

Mayor: Drebin, I don’t want anymore trouble like you had last year on the South Side. Understand? That’s my policy.

Frank: Yes. Well, when I see 5 weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That’s my policy.

Mayor: That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of “Julius Caesar”, you moron! You killed 5 actors! Good ones.

Mod Squad
Miami Vice
I think the theme here is cool people in the 70’s.

The crew of Barney Miller

Olivia Benson, Law and Order SVU

I second @YARNLADY
Mariska Hargitay (Olivia) has her own organization that helps and supports victims of sexual assault or any other type of abuse. She started it because of all the support she was getting from victims. They were sending her letters telling their story all because of her character. I don’t watch the show as much but I love her.

Also all the Criminal Minds characters. Especially Garcia

This was my favourite cop show…

Andy Sipowitz from NYPD Blue.

He had his white enclave 1950s upbringing smashed against 1990s reality every episode. He had a rigid personal moral code that made him drop his prejudices, but we could see it wasn’t easy.

Also despite being a NYPD show, he has the most quintessential Chicago accent on TV. To most viewers I imagine it just sounds like “city guy”.

I’ve liked many of them in different ways… some that come to mind at the moment:

Jane Tennison (q.v. Prime Suspect)
The Seven Ups
Serpico
Buddy “Cloudy” Russo in The French Connection
Columbo
Foyle
Mike Stone & Steve Keller (The Streets of San Francisco)
Mick Belker, Frank Furillo, etc (Hill Street Blues)
Taggert

End of Watch.

Every one you listed PLUS Hunter. Fred Dryer was not only sexy, but wickedly evil as well!!! :]

RoboCop

Andy Sipowicz

Dirty Harry.
Elliot Stabler & Olivia Benson
Hank Voit
Tango and Cash
Olinsky from Chicago PD

I love Chicago PD- I can’t believe I forgot it.

In addition to Voight, I would add Burgess and Atwater.

SVU
Chicago PD
Chicago Fire

Starsky & Hutch
Quincy
Nightrider

Kommissar Rex is also great.

Knight Rider. Hell yeah.

Anyone remember Airwolf?

@MrGrimm Loved it. And A team.

Fuckin A. A-Team.
