* Discussed and parodied in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Spawn}}'': Sam and Twitch. Sam fits this a bit more than Twitch, but both generally act outside the rules and registrations of their precinct.

* Loose Cannon Cop that doesn't play by the rules, from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{COPS}}'': Sundown, aka Walker Calhoun.
