2* '''Straight''': Officer Alice is an unusually attractive officer.
3* '''Exaggerated''': Officer Alice looks more like an international supermodel than a police officer.
4* '''Downplayed''': Officer Alice is good-looking, but not overly so.
5* '''Justified''':
6** Officer Alice is a competent officer who just happens to be very attractive.
7** She was actually a fashion model at one point, but was always passionate about criminal justice. After getting bored with her job as a model, she quit to enroll in the police academy and become a police officer.
8* '''Inverted''': Officer Alice is incredibly ugly.
9* '''Subverted''': The main characters, who work as policemen/women, initially think that their new recruit, Alice, will be this trope. Turns out that she has average looks...
10* '''Double Subverted''': It turns out Alice was just SeriouslyScruffy from the stress of starting a new job; SheCleansUpNicely.
11* '''Parodied''':
12** The cops in the series are all ThePornomancer.
13** Officer Alice manages to get criminals to admit guilt with all the details by teasing them, which means [[TheDreaded most criminals are terrified of her.]]
14* '''Zig Zagged''':
15** The attractive officer is prone to not taking care of their hygiene during the more intense cases, meaning that they're sometimes attractive and in the most extreme cases... [[{{Squick}} simply not]].
16** Or there are several officers who are given the focus of different episodes, though only some of them are attractive.
17* '''Averted''': All the cops on the force/show are plain-looking; there are no outstandingly attractive ones.
18* '''Enforced''': See RuleOfGlamorous.
19* '''Lampshaded''':
20-->'''Crook''': "How come there's always a good-looking cop out after us? They thinking that it makes us ''want'' to get caught and handcuffed?"
21* '''Invoked''': The higher-ups at Troperville Police Dept. give preference to more attractive ladies hired as officers (particularly for street and road patrolling) to create a better image of the force.
22* '''Exploited''': Officer Alice goes undercover to infiltrate into a criminal syndicate and uses her beauty to seduce a higher-up in its structure, gather enough evidence through him and eventually send all the gang into a prison.
23* '''Defied''':
24-->'''Police HR Officer''': "Sorry, ma'am, your application is rejected. Here at the Troperville Police Dept. we need officers who are actually the best at cracking cases, not just the most good-looking ones."
25* '''Discussed''':
26-->'''A Mafia henchman''' (to his boss, at a party): "That beauty has been keeping an eye on us for quite a long time...I'm pretty sure she's a covert cop."
27* '''Conversed''': ???
28* '''Deconstructed''': Alice receives unwanted attention from coworkers and suspects that makes it harder for her to do her job.
29* '''Reconstructed''': Alice is a tough cop, so she is able to rebuff unwanted advances, and eventually people stop trying.
