23->''"Hello, Officer Pretty."''
24-->-- '''Detective Berkeley''', greeting Detective Calleigh Duquesne in the ''Series/CSIMiami'' Season 6 opener
25
26In any given CrimeAndPunishmentSeries or film, the chances of encountering a Fair Cop are high.
27
28A Fair Cop is any police officer who is ridiculously attractive, ridiculously young, or both. This should not, however, carry with it [[BrainlessBeauty assumptions that they are dumb]]. Call it the police version of GoodLookingPrivates. TV cops almost never have a [[Series/{{COPS}} mustache]].
29
30The title is a play on the British and Australian expression "It's a fair cop", said when one admits having been caught fair and square. See also FiremenAreHot and GoodLookingPrivates. Cousin to HotMenAtWork.
31
32You are not particularly likely to see a Fair Cop in a stripper's police outfit, not that this stops StripperCopConfusion. However, you may see him or her as a DirtyHarriet, which gives a whole new meaning to the motto "To protect and to serve".
33
34If you're looking for a fair-''minded'' cop, you're probably looking for ReasonableAuthorityFigure or maybe a ByTheBookCop (who ''usually'' fits). If you're looking for someone who's attracted to cops, that falls under policing as an InherentlyAttractiveProfession.
35----
36!!Examples:
37[[foldercontrol]]
38
39[[folder:Advertising]]
40* The hot [[TheSheriff lady sheriff]] in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhfRXZVsY-s this]] Schick razors commercial.[[note]]the actress playing the Schick sheriff is Jennifer Montana, the wife of NFL legend Joe Montana. The two, incidentally, [[RomanceOnTheSet actually met]] while shooting another one of the series of Schick commercials[[/note]]
41* Wrangler jeans had an advert where a man is stopped and aggressively searched by a beautiful LAPD officer. It turns out she's actually his girlfriend and he inquires;
42-->"Lucille, do we always have to do this when I wear my Wranglers?"
43* Christina Aguilera wears a police woman's outfit in her adverts for Sketchers footwear (and later as a Halloween costume).
44[[/folder]]
45
46[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
47* Sheriff Hopps from the parallel chapters of ''Manga/PlusAnima''--he's handsome enough that Nana seems taken by him, though he's also not very nice...[[spoiler:at first]].
48* Chono from ''Manga/TwentiethCenturyBoys''. He could be considered a deconstruction -- his youth and attractive face could be seen as serving to highlight the fact that he's inexperienced and idealistic, rather than simply giving the viewer some eye candy. Not that he's "ridiculously" young or good-looking anyway.
49* Birdy Cephon Altera, the title character of ''Manga/BirdyTheMighty'' is a beautiful SpacePolice officer. In the OVA series, she once accosted someone who followed her, only to find out that the guy was really a talent scout who thought she could be a model and actually has an alter ego that's a model in ''Decode''.
50* ''Manga/CaseClosed'':
51** Miwako Sato isn't only a strong ActionGirl but she's also very beautiful and ''very'' popular with [[AmazonChaser men]]. Aside of her: Inspector Shiratori is very TallDarkAndHandsome (despite his [[AnimeHair really weird bangs]]), Wataru Takagi is said to be good-looking in a dorky way, the pretty traffic cop Yumi Miyamoto has no shortage of admirers, and Yumi's partner Naeko Miike is also noted to be super {{moe}}.
52** Good-looking cops in the Conan-verse aren't restricted to the Tokyo Police Department. Other good-looking law enforcement officials include Nagano detective Yui Uehara, FBI agents [[GorgeousGaijin Jodie Starling]] and Shuichi Akai, CIA agent Hidemi Hondou, [[spoiler: currently [[TheMole in disguise as reporter Rena Mizunashi and Black Organization member Kir]] ]], and budding detective Tooru Amuro [[spoiler: who is actually Japanese Security Bureau agent Rei Furuya, also [[TheMole disguised as Black Organization member Bourbon]] ]]. Let's just say that good looks are a prerequisite to be a law-enforcement officer in Conan-verse (unless your last name is [[{{Gonk}} Camel or Yamamura]])
53** Teenage detectives Shinichi Kudo, Heiji Hattori, and Masumi Sera, while not officially law enforcement, are no slouches in the looks department as well.
54* ''Manga/CityHunter'':
55** Saeko is both this and a FemmeFatale. She is a gorgeous police inspector who tends to give Ryo very ungrateful jobs.
56** Hideyuki used to be one before resigning in disgrace over failing to save their Reverse Mole in a slave ring and to apprehend the slavers.
57* Kirihara Misaki from ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' in season 1 and part of season 2 until she quits the police force.
58* Officer Kuhou from ''Manga/FrankenFran''. [[spoiler: Until she is transformed into a CuteMonsterGirl, at least.]]
59* ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'':
60** Togusa is the youngest and most naive member of Section 9, and the only one who is not a cyborg. He's also easily most handsome of them. Unlike the rest of the team, he's not an ex-special forces member but used to be a regular police officer. He's also the only one who has not yet become completely cynical, but the job is steadily pushing him into that direction as well.
61** The Major. Her attractiveness is of course completely artificial; the exterior of her prosthetic body is made of standard components, meaning that there isn't a speck of individuality in her sexy frame, and people can easily recognise her as a cyborg, but also mistake her for a cheap model. This, however, is true only to certain continuities in the franchise; in others, she uses custom-built bodies with plenty of individuality.
62* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'':
63** Hijikata, Okita and arguably Yamazaki of UsefulNotes/TheShinsengumi. Gintoki too when he's working for the Shinsengumi.
64** Making Okita a breathtaking {{Bishounen}} is a hallowed tradition with Japanese works featuring the Shinsengumi, though he was [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/51/Okitasoji.jpg somewhat plain]] in reality. Saitou also frequently gets the HistoricalBeautyUpdate -- in fact [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/Onlysaitophoto.JPG he was nothing special]] just like Okita (if not [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/54/Realsaitou-2.jpg just plain ugly]][[labelnote:*]]Though the authenticity of the latter photo is disputed.[[/labelnote]]). Few of the works center this on Hijikata, though, despite the man [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c5/Toshizo_Hijikata.jpg being much more handsome]] in RealLife.
65* It's only natural that the Shinsengumi in ''VisualNovel/{{Hakuouki}}'' are this, especially Hijikata, Saito and Okita.
66* Clarabelle "Bell" Kawamoto from ''Manga/{{Jagaaaaaan}}'' is a police officer and is very sexy. Jagasaki sure is lucky to work with her.
67* ''Manga/{{Kochikame}}''.
68** Reiko Katherine Akimoto. She work as Patrol Officer in the Police Box and is a tall and beauty woman with long blonde hair and large breast.
69** Nakagawa is a TallDarkAndHandsome ChickMagnet.
70** The anime add Komachi and Naoko, two cute policewoman.
71* The Enforcers of ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'', whose ranks include Chrono, Fate, and Teana. It helps that the law enforcement branch of the [[TheFederation Time-Space Administration Bureau]] gets those spiffy black uniforms.
72* In a FormulaBreakingEpisode of ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'' in which they're policewomen, the Black Beauty Sisters hit every note of this.
73* ''Franchise/{{Patlabor}}'': Each of the women of the SVU are attractive; particularly Kanuka and Shinobu.
74** Shinobu is noted for her beauty, despite [[OldMaid being in her mid-late 20's]] and it's well known around the barracks that her fellow captain, Gotoh, is love with her. However, [[StrictlyProfessionalRelationship she strictly enforces a professional relationship]] between them.
75** In her debut episode, Kanauka had practically all the guys in the division (including Asuma) falling over themselves asking her out, or simply asking for her phone number, or if she had a sister as beautiful as she is. It actually took Gotoh to get them to settle down long enough just so she could finish introducing herself.
76** [[BoyishShortHair Noa's]] no slouch in the looks department either. In chapter 5 of the manga version, [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/patlabor/c005/4.html she got hit on]] [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/patlabor/c005/6.html by a couple of guys]], while she was waiting [[ImpliedLoveInterest for Asuma]] to show up for their "date". While in the anime version, during [[IdolSinger Hana's]] brief stint with the [=SVU2=], she actually developed [[LesYay a canonical crush on her.]] Though after [[EveryoneCanSeeIt seeing the chemistry between Noa and Asuma]], Hana relented so they could be together. Naturally, they had no idea what she was talking about.
77* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''
78** In ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', it's Officer Jenny, of course. ''[[InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals All]]'' [[InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals of them]].
79** For those who prefer male officers, the ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' arcs set in Johto have Falkner, who works as a cop in addition to his Gym Leader duties.
80%%* ''Anime/SamuraiFlamenco'' has Goto who looks quite attractive.
81* ''Manga/SquidGirl'' has Keiko Furukawa, a beautiful and absolutely adorable young policewoman. She once traded her uniform for a bikini to stand out less, but ended up standing out ''more'' because nearby customers were now attracted to how cute she is.
82* ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' has [[LovelyAngels Mihoshi Kuramitsu and Kiyone Mabiki]], Galaxy Police officers.
83* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' has several Ghoul Investigators that earn comments about their good looks. [[TheAce Arima]] and Akira have both been described as beautiful, while Amon is repeatedly called [[TallDarkAndHandsome handsome]] by admiring women.
84* ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest'':
85** [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Natsumi and Miyuki]] currently provide the page's image, and both of them are noted for their looks at various points throughout the series. Both have been hit on several times, though [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan each has a love interest of their own.]] So they choose to either ignore other advances, or for the crude, pushy types, they [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor "gently" persuade them to reconsider.]]
86** [[{{Meganekko}} Yoriko]] and [[UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} Aoi]] are also fairly attractive and have had suitors of their own. The only reason Yoriko isn't dating, is because she hasn't found anyone she'd be interested in, who'd be interested ''in her'', except for a foreign prince who's young enough to be her kid brother. Which, naturally, didn't sit well with her. As for Aoi's potential boyfriends... [[TransRelationshipTroubles you can imagine how well any of those work out.]]
87** The guys are fairly easy on the eyes too, including their chief, [[CoolOldGuy Kachou]], who barely looks a day older than his mid 30's, even though [[OlderThanTheyLook he's pushing 50!]] There are a couple of [[{{Gonk}} average looking guys]] in Ken's bunch, but we don't see them often.
88* Soichi Kazama in ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' (Called Kaz in the dub version). Also one of the few cops on the show who was ''never'' hostile to the heroes.
89[[/folder]]
90
91[[folder:Comic Books]]
92* Franchise/{{Batman}}:
93** Detective [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Renee]] [[ComicBook/GothamCentral Montoya]] of the [[CapeBusters Major Crimes Unit]] of the Gotham City Police Department. However, at the end of ''ComicBook/GothamCentral'', she quit the force in disgust. As of ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo'', she wears the mantle of ComicBook/TheQuestion.
94** Officer Jamie Harper, formerly of the GCPD where she helped out [[ComicBook/Robin1993 Tim Drake]], is quite good looking. She eventually transferred to the [[CapeBusters Metropolis Science Police]].
95** Also from Gotham PD is Detective Nick Gage or, as [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Steph]] calls him, "Detective [=McHandsome=]".
96--->'''Stephanie:''' [[DistractedByTheSexy Please be less attractive.]]
97** ''ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}'': Dick Grayson joined the police force as a part of his goal to clean up [[ViceCity Blüdhaven]]. Several story arcs focused on the tension between his superhero activities and what was originally supposed to be a just a cover. One story had [[ComicBook/{{Oracle}} Barbara Gordon]] asking him to visit her wearing the uniform.
98** GCPD Detective Larry Lance was an attractive Gotham detective for an earlier generation. Larry ended up married to the first ComicBook/BlackCanary and fathering the second.
99* ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'':
100** Psi-Judge Anderson. Made even more blatant by the fact that she's technically in her 50's but often looks like she's in her 20's.
101** Psi-Judge Karyn. At least, until she becomes possessed. Seems to be a trend among Psi Judges.
102** Judge (now ex-Judge) Galen [=DeMarco=]. A Judge so hot, not only was there someone at her Watch House willing to violate the rule about Judge-Judge relationships, but even [[CelibateHero Joe Dredd]] was implied to have been tempted.
103** Joe Dredd himself has enough of a HeroicBuild and LanternJawOfJustice to attract at least one stalker, even if we've never seen his face.
104** Of course, by extension, Dredd's "father" Eustace Fargo, the person he was cloned from, is a Fair Cop himself. He was a rather striking-looking {{Hunk}} and [[HelloAttorney a former attorney]].
105* Liza Warner, the title character from the ''ComicBook/LadyCop'' comic (see [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Cop the Other Wiki]]).
106* Noa of ''ComicBook/LastManStanding'' is one of these.
107* Jennifer Mays from ''ComicBook/TheMazeAgency'' (actually a PI, but let's not quibble)
108* Vicky Lenore in ''ComicBook/{{Raptors}}'' is a very gorgeous redhead whose partner Benito Spiaggi has a crush on her, and vampire bombshell Camilla decides to [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer claim her for herself]] as her "plaything".
109* In the ''ComicBook/SinCity'' story ''Family Values'', Dwight is hit on by a rather comely female officer. Since Dwight is at that moment on a mission for Old Town with the nearby and concealed Miho, who will kill the cop if anything goes wrong, he pretends to be a DepravedBisexual to scare her away.
110* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Flash Thompson's dad was one; Flash's mom often remarked how handsome he looked in-uniform. Sadly, it was clearly "only skin deep" as he was also an alcoholic who abused both his wife and son.
111* ''ComicBook/{{Viz}}'': In the one-shot strip ''Wayne, Son of Jane'', the title character actually exclaims "It's a fair cop!" when an attractive female constable gives him a ticket.
112* Tract Ais of ''ComicBook/WhiteSand'' is quite pretty, especially compared to other women in the comic.
113* ''ComicBook/{{Witchblade}}'':
114** Sara Pezzini. The writers noted that as she was not just an officer but a detective her attractiveness would actually be something of a detriment in many parts of the job. Sara stops being a Fair Cop when she quits the police force in issue 150.
115** In the new universe Dani is also a police officer for the NYPD.
116[[/folder]]
117
118[[folder:Fan Works]]
119* WebAnimation/JikuuBoukenDoctorWho: Tomo Kajiura is a Japanese cop who wears her red hair long and dons a pair of microshorts along with a strapless bikini top to compliment her fairly shapely body.
120[[/folder]]
121
122[[folder:Film -- Animated]]
123* Lucy Wilde of the ''Franchise/DespicableMe'' franchise is a secret agent for the Anti-Villain League who's seen as very attractive by many characters, with no less than five people in [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe2 her debut film]] finding her attractive (Gru included).
124* Judy Hopps from ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'', in contrast to other female officers like Francine and ([[AmbiguousGender possibly]]) Fangmeyer, has a very feminine appearance, HartmanHips included (justified in that she, as a bunny, [[KickChick has a lot of leg strength]] and [[BouncingBattler jumps a lot]]). In a variation, she's not attractive as much as she is [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter adorable]] (again, [[BunniesForCuteness being a bunny]]).
125[[/folder]]
126
127[[folder:Film -- Live-Action]]
128* ''Film/AceVentura: Pet Detective'' has Lt. Einhorn, whose very introduction is scored by a {{Sexophone}}, and Ace is very impressed with her. [[spoiler:Although she's not "Fair" in the case of "good", given that Einhorn is the BigBad, and is using her attractiveness to go beyond suspicion. On just about the entire precinct, if the number of disgusted cops when [[UnsettlingGenderReveal Ace reveals she is a man]] says anything.]]
129* Deputy Rita Marrick in ''Film/ArmyOfOne'', although given her wardrobe, she is also filling the MsFanservice trope. She starts the movie wearing a LittleBlackDress, spends the majority of the film in tight jeans and a crop top, and appears in a form-fitting uniform at the end of the movie in the original ending (though not in the [[RevisedEnding revised one]]).
130* Foxxy Cleopatra from ''Film/AustinPowers''. She shows her badge to Austin and goes, "You have the right to remain sexy, sugar," to which he replies, "Ooh, I hope there's a search involved." Granted that they weren't being serious at the time.
131* ''Film/TheBadLieutenantPortOfCallNewOrleans'': The DirtyCop protagonist hooks up with a hot highway patrol cop he's acquainted with. She even keeps the boots on.
132* ''Film/Bedazzled2000'': one of the outfits Liz Hurley's devil wears to beguile Brendan Fraser is an attractive female police officer.
133* Officer Kaz Nicol in ''Film/BeyondTheLights'' spends a lot of time [[ShirtlessScene without a shirt]] and is certainly not [[MrFanService hard on the eyes]].
134* In ''Film/TheCannonballRun'', upon being pulled over by highway patrol for speeding, Adrienne Barbeau's character attempts to re-use a [[ShowSomeLeg previous]] [[DistractedByTheSexy tactic]] of pulling her driver's license [[VictoriasSecretCompartment out of her cleavage]] in order to be let off. In this instance however, it turns out the patrol officer is a female, with a rack just as big as hers.
135* Officer Lindsey Taylor and Officer Ava Perez in ''Film/{{CHIPs}}'' fill this trope (and their uniform) by the book (though Captain Lindel also gets a honorable mention here).
136* Guard Sally Bishop in ''Film/ConAir'' technically fills this trope, even though she is a prison guard and not a police officer. In-universe this proves to be a problem for her once the inmates take over the plane, as there is a [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil convicted rapist]] on board as well.
137* ''Film/DeepInTheValley'': [[TrappedInTVLand Trapped in a porn movie]], Lester and Carl discover that all of the Deep Valley Police Department are this. {{Lampshaded}} when Carl even questions if the midriff-exposing tops, short skirts and CombatStilettos can be regulation uniform.
138* Officer Lenina Huxley, and her usual partner, from ''Film/DemolitionMan''. Justified, because in ''Film/DemolitionMan'', the police force had become little more than ornamental, so more attractive officers are probably given preference.
139* ''Film/EightLeggedFreaks'': The sheriff is played by Kari Wuhrer, known for many MsFanservice roles. Lampshaded by the horndog teenagers when they call her "the sexiest sheriff in the country".
140* Officer Brian O'Conner from ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious'' series. ''Film/FastFive'' introduces Rio police officer Elena Neves, played by Elsa Pataky (a.k.a. Mrs. Chris Hemsworth). Lampshaded by Luke Hobbs, who, when asked why he picked her as his "translator", sarcastically replies, "I like her smile".[[note]]To Hobbs, because of her background and inexperience, she'd be least likely among the Rio cops to be dirty[[/note]]
141* ''Film/FinalDestination2'' has Thomas Burke, a good-looking state trooper.
142* ''Film/FireWithFire'': Talia Durham is a beautiful US Marshal who's assigned to Jeremy when he's put in Witness Protection, and he starts a relationship with her.
143%%* Virginia Slim in ''Film/HarleyDavidsonAndTheMarlboroMan''.
144* ''Film/JasonGoesToHellTheFinalFriday'' has stunning actress/stuntwoman Julie Michaels as FBI Agent Elizabeth Marcus, stripping off for the shower in order to lure Jason Vorhees into a SWAT team ambush.
145* In the German film ''Film/KnockinOnHeavensDoor'' (1997) the protagonists get the jump on two police officers. First they order them to hand over their guns. Then they tell them to strip. Cue the male police officer [[AllMenArePerverts putting on a big grin]] as he looks over at his partner, who's a hot blonde female (when we later see them tied to a chair, she's wearing sexy lingerie).
146* Creator/JessicaAlba from ''Film/{{Machete}}'' as Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Sartana Rivera.
147* Gracie Hart from ''Film/MissCongeniality''. Although she starts as a mess of a woman, her looks are a plot point, since she's the best candidate to go undercover at a beauty pageant despite [[{{Tomboy}} her unladylike demeanor]].
148* "Hottie Police Officer" from ''Film/ANightAtTheRoxbury''. She's played by Jennifer Coolidge, who one year after ''Roxbury'', would forever be immortalized as the MILF in ''Film/AmericanPie''.
149* ''Film/ScreamAndScreamAgain'' has WPC Helen Bradford who is selected to undercover in the nightclub to go act as bait for the Vampire Killer.
150* ''Film/UndercoverHeat'': Cindy is already a very attractive young police officer before she gets a GirlinessUpgrade. This is the reason her superiors consider her a good choice to go undercover [[DirtyHarriet as a prostitute]].
151* ''Film/WeAreTheNight'': Tom is a police detective and very handsome.
152[[/folder]]
153
154[[folder:Literature]]
155* ''Literature/OneQEightyFour'': Ayumi is a beleaguered cop who is forced to take menial, dull work thanks to her sexist colleges. She's young (around Aomame's age) and is quite attractive.
156* Captain Holly Short of the LEP from the ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'' series. She's also pretty badass, and an elf.
157* In Creator/MichaelConnelly novels, FBI agents Rachael Walling and Eleanor Wish[[spoiler: (briefly)]] are both considered this.
158* ''Literature/CrescentCity'': Danika serves as a member of Crescent City's Auxiliary and is strikingly pretty.
159* Deborah from ''Literature/{{Dexter}}''. Deconstructed, as it just means she gets to dress up like a hooker for stings.
160* Angua, Salacia 'Sally' von Humpeding, and Carrot Ironfoundersson from the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novels. Carrot's photogenic qualities were once exploited by Vimes in ''Thud!'', and Angua initially gets HeadTurningBeauty reactions when she joins up, with half-joking remarks that people would be ''queuing up'' to be arrested, which changes - while she doesn't become any less attractive, she tends to scare people via a number of things, such as a habit of intensely staring at peoples' jugulars.
161** There's also Constable Reg Shoe, who looks quite young for a cop, although the fact he's been a zombie for years makes his appearance a poor indication of how long he's been ali- er, around. (And it's hard to describe him as conventionally attractive, unless undead pallor, visible stitching, and the occasional infestation of carrion eaters are your thing.)
162* ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': Lt. Karrin Murphy, as well as Connie Murphy, her TV counterpart. In the books, she's petite, being about 5 feet tall, striking a significant contrast with Harry Dresden, whose height is given at between 6'8'' and 6'10'' (he isn't totally consistent, but he can "look down on some people in the NBA"), blonde, blue-eyed, and described as cute. [[BadassAdorable She also once took down an ogre with a chainsaw, while nursing a nasty knee injury.]] It's noted on more than one occasion that she seems to have become a badass cop to spite her appearance. Unusually for literary examples, the fact that she ages (the series having covered about 12 years so far, and put her through a number of stressful events) is not skimmed over, and it doesn't leave Dresden any less attracted to her.
163* ''Literature/GirlsDontHit'':
164** Shannon, Colin's lover, is a very beautiful, redhaired female police officer.
165** A couple female detectives in New Orleans whom Joss meets are attractive too.
166%%* Detective-Sergeant Rinus de Gier, of Janwillem van de Wetering's ''Grijpstra and de Gier'' mysteries, is a male example.
167* The ''Literature/InDeath'' series:
168** Eve Dallas is described as one of those people who is very attractive, but puts no effort into it. She has BoyishShortHair, hates make-up and makeovers with a passion and has incredibly poor fashion sense (her husband fondly remembers the ugly grey suit she wore when they first met like one would remember a spectacular train wreck)... and she's still considered hot, so much that there are a few cases of EvenTheGirlsWantHer. She does get a better wardrobe after marrying a member of the {{Fiction 500}}, though.
169** Troy Trueheart is also very much this. Eve has commented on his hunkiness, and she usually does not seem to notice or care about such things.
170* Creator/IsaacAsimov and Creator/JanetAsimov's ''Literature/TheNorbyChronicles'': Albany Jones is introduced in the first book, acting on a report of a public disturbance. While Fargo Wells [[TheCharmer is known to attract women]], Albany is the first one he decides to try settling down with. She is also the only member of the cast shown to fight, having learned karate and taught some of it to Jeff off-screen.
171* ''Literature/RiversOfLondon'':
172** PC Lesley May, Peter's friend and WorldsMostBeautifulWoman… [[spoiler:until she gets possessed by the BigBad, leading to her face [[FacialHorror falling off]] near the end of book one, consequently morphing her into a WalkingSpoiler.]]
173** For a male example, there's minor character PC Omer Kubat, who's so good looking other police never believe he's police even when he's in uniform. He's regularly poached for undercover work.
174* In the ''Literature/StephaniePlum'' books, even cop-phobic Lula (a former hooker) thinks Morelli is seriously hot. Most women in the series agree with her — especially, of course, Stephanie (who is in an on-off relationship with him).
175* Arbitor Shira Calpurnia, protagonist of the ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000: Enforcer'' trilogy.
176* Claudine St. Cyr of the Galactic Police, who works up from Sergeant in novels by Ian Wallace.
177[[/folder]]
178
179[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
180* All of the undercover cops on ''Series/TwentyOneJumpStreet''. ''All of them''.
181* DC Anna Travis from ''Series/AboveSuspicion'', who is played by a 32 year old actress, but looks 19!
182* ''Series/{{Angel}}'': In the original plan for the second episode, Kate Lockley was to be introduced as a police officer infiltrating a prostitution ring but had gotten too far into her role and was actually taking drugs and having sex with her clients. In the [[ExecutiveMeddling version that made it to air]], she was investigating disappearances from (or hanging out at) a popular singles bar. She would go on to become the Fair Cop love interest and occasional antagonist for Angel Investigations for the first 2 seasons.
183* Detective ''Series/AngieTribeca'' is a female badass police officer and a {{Parody}} of the Dirty Harriet archetype.
184* Series/{{Arrowverse}} examples:
185** Detective [=MacKenna=] Hall from ''Series/{{Arrow}}''.
186** On ''Arrow'''s spin-off, ''[[Series/TheFlash2014 The Flash]]'', we have Detectives Joe West, Eddie Thawne (who in-universe has gotten the nickname "Detective Pretty Boy"), and Patty Spivot.
187** DEO Officer (later Director) Alex Danvers and Detective Maggie Sawyer from ''Series/{{Supergirl}}'', both beautiful.
188** [[LawEnforcementInc Crows]] agent Sophie Moore from ''Series/{{Batwoman|2019}}'' is very attractive.
189* ''Series/BigSky'': Private detectives, in this case. Cody, Jenny and Cassie are all very good-looking.
190* ''Series/TheBill'':
191** Quite a number of characters, such as Phil Hunter, Zain Nadir, Sam Nixon and Emma Keane.
192** Especially (age wise) PC Beth Green. On her first appearance, PC Valentine remarked that he "didn't know the station was running a creche". Her actress, Louisa Lytton, was too young to join the real police when she started filming. Lytton won Sexiest Female in the 2005 British Soap Awards- aged ''16''. She looks that age now...
193** One former Inspector was played by a former ''lads' mag'' model.
194** This is ironic given that when ''The Bill'' first came out one reviewer praised its realistic look, especially referring to the lack of excessively attractive actors on the show.
195* ''Series/BlueBloods'' has Det. Jackie Curatola in homicide, as well as Det. Melissa Baker as Frank's personal assistant. On the Y side of things, Jamie Reagan looks good in a uniform, and Frank is played by Tom ' 'nuff said' Selleck. Danny Reagan no doubt has some fangirls too.
196* Some rural areas in Australia have a shortage of women. The Victorian town of Mt. Thomas in ''Series/BlueHeelers'' just has a shortage of ''unattractive'' women if its police force is anything to go by. Besides Sgt. Tom Croydon, the same is generally true of the men.
197* ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'':
198** Detective Amy Santiago is a very attractive young woman who does get a fair share of attention from men.
199** Detective Rosa Diaz is easy on the eyes, but in-universe at least her permanently pissed-off attitude means that most of the guys seem to regard her with more fear than desire. Though, that fact doesn't necessarily preclude people from finding her attractive:
200--->'''Diaz:''' Fear is a powerful aphrodisiac.
201** Detective Jake Peralta is rather attractive and gets a good amount of attention from women. Jake refers to his good looks several times, though it's clear that he's more or less joking.
202--->'''Kevin:''' Because he's gay, Raymond has been put through hell by his colleagues, many of whom, quite frankly, look exactly like you.\
203'''Jake:''' Devastatingly handsome?
204** Sergeant Terry Jeffords is very handsome and muscular, and serves as the show's MrFanservice, since a lot of attention is drawn to his biceps in the show. Gina openly lusts after him.
205** ThoseTwoGuys Hitchcock and Scully are old, lazy and incompetent, but episode "[[Recap/BrooklynNineNineS6E02HitchcockAndScully Hitchcock & Scully]]" reveals they were hunky and handsome enough to make Jake and Charles drool over them, and even had cool nicknames and dropped snappy one-liners after making an arrest.
206* ''Series/{{Californication}}'': In season 4, Hollywood actress Sasha Bingham is seen starring in a ShowWithinAShow where she plays a very sexualized cop. [[ThePornomancer Hank Moody]] appreciates her outfit.
207* ''Series/{{Castle|2009}}'':
208** Detective Kate Beckett, played by ex-model Stana Katic. The first episode hangs a lampshade when Castle remarks that an attractive woman like her would under many circumstances opt to become a lawyer rather than a cop if entering law-enforcement, before going on to deduce that the reason Beckett did become a cop is [[BrokenBird due to something which happened in her past]].
209*** Also an in-universe (former) model, as she had a very brief modeling career at 18-19.
210** The other members of her team, Detectives [[http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121103061753/castletv/images/9/92/Espo.jpg Esposito]] and [[http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121103061921/castletv/images/9/95/Ryan.jpg Ryan,]] are nothing to sneeze at, either. Once, when interviewing the owner of a talent agency for male strippers, he thought they were there for the tryouts. He encouraged Ryan, but said he had enough guys who look like Esposito, who got offended, mentioning he was previously in an NYPD calendar.
211* Virtually every cop, male and female, from ''Series/{{CHiPs}}'', Heather Locklear on ''Series/TJHooker'', and ''Series/CharliesAngels'' where the three original Angels were all ex-cops.
212* Pretty much the entire Intelligence Unit on ''Series/ChicagoPD'', with special mention going to Erin Lindsay, Hailey Upton, Kim Burgess, and Vanessa Rojas.
213* ''Series/ClassOf09'': Most of the main FBI agent characters are attractive people. The main exception is Tayo, who's both overweight and isn't that handsome.
214* ''Series/ColdCase'':
215** Detective Rush, which is acknowledged in-universe. Notably, her actress gets top billing even though she's not the leader of the team, story-wise.
216** Detectives Valens and Miller count too.
217* ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' has Sarah Walker, who is played by the beautiful Creator/YvonneStrahovski. Chuck himself isn't that bad looking either.
218* Crossing over with Real Life, ''Series/{{Cops}}'' has a list of criteria for who appears on the show, including their service record, camera presence, and yes, looks. Most featured are at least at or slightly above average, but there is the occasional stunner thrown in for good measure.
219* ''Series/CriminalMinds'': Pretty much most of the BAU probably qualifies. In particular, Jennifer Jareau and Spencer Reid in a NerdsAreSexy kind of way.
220* A fair number of characters in the Series/CSIVerse, especially Stella Bonasera from ''Series/{{CSINY}}'', who got hit on by male suspects fairly often.
221** Vegas offers a bit of justification with Catherine Willows; she used to be a stripper (although bet on the under on the number of strippers-turned-investigators in real life).
222** If that's not enough {{fanservice}}, Bonasera's Kevlar vest has a v-neck to show off her cleavage...and [[LesYay she was once hit on by a female suspect]].
223** Jessica Angell during her run.
224** On the male side, her SpearCounterpart, Detective Flack.
225** On ''Series/CSIMiami'', we have Calleigh Duquesne.
226* Galina Sergeevna (Music/LizaArzamasova) in ''Series/DaddysDaughters'' was briefly one, and [[http://www.kino-teatr.ru/kino/movie/ros/11878/foto/i2/154098/ looked good]] in the nice hat and uniform.
227* ''Series/Daredevil2015'': Ray Nadeem, whose hair many have likened to being that of a Disney prince.
228* ''Series/DarkWinds'': Manuelito is a Navajo police officer, Chee an FBIAgent. Both are quite good-looking. Whitover later asks if anyone's told Manuelito she's too beautiful to be a cop, to which she says everyone has.
229* Casey Jones from ''Series/{{Decoy}}''. One character even calls her "the finest of New York's finest."
230* ''Series/{{Deputy}}'': Several of the LA Sheriff's Deputies, Joseph chief among them, are attractive people.
231* ''Series/{{Dexter}}'':
232** Deb is introduced posing as a prostitute with a MaleGaze panning shot up her body. Almost her first line is complaining about how objectified she feels. She dresses in a very casual and unsexualised way for the entire rest of the show. She's however very pretty and hot, and many a man fancies her.
233** Dexter is not a cop, but works for Miami Metro PD as a blood spatter expert. He's very handsome.
234** Sergeant Doakes is a fit and attractive man. Quite scary though.
235** Quinn is handsome, with his chiselled jaw, and well-built form.
236** Maria [=LaGuerta=] is a voluptuous middle-aged woman.
237* ''Series/DoctorWho''
238** Subverted in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour "The Eleventh Hour"]], where the attractive Amy Pond initially appears wearing an improbably short-skirted police uniform. This is shortly revealed to be because she's a ''kissogram'', a mostly defunct profession now supplanted by actual strippers.
239--->'''Amy:''' It was either this or a FrenchMaid.
240** Thirteenth Doctor companion Yasmin Khan, on the other hand, actually ''is'' a police constable.
241* Benton Fraser, in ''Series/DueSouth''. On the American side, both Rays have their admirers in the fanbase.
242* WPC Truelove in ''Series/{{Endeavour}}'' -- young, blonde, brainy and resourceful.
243* Josephina (Jo) Lupo (played by ''Creator/EricaCerra'') in ''Series/{{Eureka}}''. Not to say that Jack Carter (played by ''Creator/ColinFerguson'') is all that hard on the eyes...
244* ''Series/TheFall2013'': With the ladies, there's [[Creator/GillianAnderson DSI Stella Gibson]] and PC Dani Ferrington. With the men, there's [[Creator/ColinMorgan DS Tom Anderson]] and DS James Olson. This is {{lampshaded}} variously with Anderson, who Gibson invites to Operation Musicman purely because of his youthful good looks. He is deliberately made to interview Katie Benedetto due to his age, and he also enjoys a one-night stand with Gibson.
245* ''Series/TheFamily2016'': Detective Nina Meyer is quite stunning.
246* ''Series/{{Forever|2014}}''[='s=] Jo Martinez. Alana de la Garza is drop-dead gorgeous, so of course Detective Martinez is an excellent example. The other regular police characters are [[HollywoodHomely not quite as amazingly stunning]]. Lampshaded in "Fountain of Youth" when Henry spells out how beautiful Martinez is by using scientific statistics (i.e., the ideality of the proportions of her facial features). She replies that in her line of work, her looks are more of a liability than an asset.
247* ''Series/GangRelated'':
248** Ryan's quite handsome, and an LAPD detective.
249** Vee is a very beautiful ICE agent.
250* Both Nick and Renard on ''Series/{{Grimm}}'' qualify, and Hank has his admirers. Even Wu can be pretty appealing.
251* Almost ''every single main character'' on ABC's ''Series/HighIncident''. Notable examples include [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005516/ this guy]](whose character actually had a moustache.) And [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0369513/ this one]]. And [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001418/ this one]]. Played with in the form of Officer Tops, who is a fat, balding guy, and his younger, good-looking partner. Guess which one's the family man? [[spoiler: Not Tops.]]
252* Many of the officers in the Spanish cop show ''Series/LosHombresDePaco'', including one ironic/hilarious episode where three of the female officers go undercover at a strip club, two of whom actually wear stripper cop outfits.
253* The later seasons of ''Series/HomicideLifeOnTheStreet'' suffered from some [[ReplacementScrappy unpopular]] characters like this, especially so since they replaced members of the original realistically-homely cast.
254** Det. Rene Sheppard, (portrayed by Michael Michele) in season 7, had a beautiful face.
255** Even with this shameful display [[ExecutiveMeddling at trying to get more viewers]], the original (or at least older) cast was nothing to sneeze at. Bayliss, Felton, Lewis, Kellerman for starters. Hell, even Andre Braugher (Pembleton) was once voted one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautful People!
256* ''Series/{{Haven}}'':
257** The show features FBI agent and police officer Audrey Parker, an absurdly attractive blonde woman who gains the attention of several men throughout the series.
258** On the male side of things, there's Nathan Wuornos. He works as an officer alongside Audrey and is quite handsome.
259* ''Series/{{Hightown}}'': Jackie and Leslie are both good-looking women, becoming partners after the former joins the Providence police. Ray, also a detective with them starting out, is rather ruggedly handsome.
260* ''Series/HometownChaChaCha'': Choi Eun-chul, an upstanding local policeman. Mi-seon is attracted to him from his first appointment at the clinic, and later comments that he looks much better in uniform.
261* In ''Series/Hunter1984'', Det. Sgt. [=DeeDee=] [=McCall=] is very good-looking and usually well-dressed as well. Her good looks make her a good candidate for DirtyHarriet missions. It also attracts attention from some less than desirable quarters.
262* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'': Barney repeatedly and deliberately gets himself stopped for speeding by a beautiful motorcycle policewoman in order to attempt to seduce her but ends up tasered and arrested instead.
263* ''Series/TheIndianDetective'': Christina Cole and Gia Sandhu, two very beautiful actresses, play Toronto Police Service and Canadian Border Services Agency officers. Scott Cavalheiro, playing a TPS detective, is a male example too.
264* ''Series/{{Intergalactic}}'': Ash, a police officer, is a quite pretty young woman.
265* ''Series/LAsFinest'': The two protagonists Syd and Nancy are quite beautiful female detectives (respectively played by Creator/GabrielleUnion and Creator/JessicaAlba).
266* Most ''Franchise/LawAndOrder'' detectives, as well as some of the captains.
267** ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'''s Det. Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), who is frequently seen wearing low-cut shirts and PaintedOnPants, and who provides the image for this page. Hargitay has a remarkable resemblance to her mother, [=1950s=] blonde bombshell actress Creator/JayneMansfield (although Mansfield was actually dark-haired; her platinum blonde hair was a dye job).
268** Benson seems to be getting a run for her money with Amanda Rollins, whose actress (Kelli Giddish) is so pretty that Stephanie March joked she was 'trying to get her fired'. Rollins often exploits this trope and is very talented at being the HoneyTrap.
269** On ''Series/LawAndOrderOrganizedCrime'' Det. Jet Slootmaekers' a very good-looking young woman who is now a police detective. In Season 3 she really dolls herself up while going undercover, wearing beautiful dresses including ones with {{navel deep neckline}}s.
270** Given that he's played by the ''epitome'' of MrFanservice, Creator/JamieBamber, this was a given for DS Matt Devlin of ''Series/LawAndOrderUK''.
271** [[Series/LawAndOrder Det. Ed Green]] (played by Jesse L. Martin), earns a fair number of points for supplying the sexy voice, tall stature and (albeit rarely seen) beautiful smile.
272** [[Series/LawAndOrder Det. Nina Cassady]] (portrayed by Milena Govich), who got her press nickname "Detective Beauty Queen" after her role in a shootout at a beauty parlor.
273** Who can forget the franchise's prime example of fairness AND [[MrFanservice fanservice]], Elliott Stabler?
274* ''Series/Liar2017'': DI Vanessa is quite attractive. Her colleague, undercover detective [[spoiler:Charlotte]], is as well (it's weaponized in her case to [[HoneyTrap lure in a suspect]]).
275* Crews and Reese, the main characters of ''Series/Life2007'', are both ridiculously good-looking.
276* ''Series/{{Life on Mars|2006}}''… where do we start? Well, DC Chris Skelton is definitely in the running, as is WPC Annie Cartwright. Then there's Sam Tyler, who seems to wear a ''lot'' of [[TheSeventies skin-tight shirts with very at least three buttons undone]] (his neck has a lot of fans). And then there's DCI Gene Hunt. Search 'Gene Hunt is sexy' and see how many hits you get. Spin-off ''Series/AshesToAshes2008'' adds DI Alex Drake, who gets a hell of a lot of MsFanservice moments right from the beginning, as well as WPC Shaz Granger.
277* ''Series/LipService'': Sam is a good-looking woman who's a Glasgow police constable.
278* ''Series/{{Lucifer}}'': Chloe Decker, who had a short-lived acting career when she was younger before becoming a police officer. Lampshaded in one episode when she attempts to arrest a suspect, but the suspect mistakes it for an elaborate prank because he knew about her acting career but not about her police career. [[RefugeInAudacity That, and also her partner introduced himself as Lucifer Morningstar.]]
279* ''Series/{{Manifest}}'':
280** Jared Vasquez is [[MrFanservice definitely this]], courtesy of the handsome J.R. Ramirez.
281** And for those who like women, Michaela isn't hard to watch either.
282* ''Series/MiamiVice'': Crockett and Tubbs, Trudy and Gina.
283* ''Series/MohawkGirls'': Thunder is a very handsome man who's also a peacekeeper (i.e. a member of the Mohawk band's police force).
284* ''Series/MurdochMysteries'':
285** Detective Murdoch. He's a man of dark and mysterious beauty and wears a sharp suit. Quite a few women in-universe fancy him, much to his embarrassment.
286** Constable George Crabtree is something of a PluckyComicRelief character, but he's good-looking in his uniform. There are some {{Ship Tease}}s for him with several characters, and as of season 6, he dates the gorgeous Dr. Emily Grace.
287** Constable Higgins is a minor character and appears mainly paired with George, but he is decidedly handsome and has a sweet smile.
288* Several members of the cast of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'', notably Tony, Ziva and Kate.
289* ''Series/NewYorkUndercover'' to varying degrees and more realistic than the model-types frequently seen on other police shows, but overall, a very good-looking collection of officers.
290* ''Series/{{NTSFSDSUV}}'': Agent Piper Ferguson primarily spoofs the "tough-as-nails but hot female cop" that frequently show up in procedural crime dramas. She always wears PaintedOnPants and tight-fittting clothing on the job that enhances her figure while kicking ass.
291* ''Series/NYPDBlue'':
292** A prime male example is Det. Baldwin Jones, who is not only good-looking but very tall, athletic and well-toned. He has many {{Shirtless Scene}}s to show off his body. His good looks are useful when interviewing women, who tend to open up more to him than his more average-looking colleagues, though it sometimes backfires when female witnesses get so DistractedByTheSexy that they can't concentrate on their statements.
293** Det. Bobby Simone deserves a mention as well, being played by the very handsome Creator/JimmySmits.
294** More or less all the female cops on the show are very good-looking. Some notable examples are detectives Russell (who has several nude scenes), Kirkendall and Ortiz.
295* ''Series/OnceUponATime'' has Emma Swan herself as Storybrooke's sheriff after Sheriff Graham [[spoiler: was killed by Regina's magic.]] Not that Graham was a slouch in the looks department to begin with. Then after she leaves town temporarily, she passes the position of sheriff to her father. Who is the original Prince Charming, and thanks to certain magical shenanigans, is only a couple of years older than Emma.
296* ''Series/{{Patriot}}'': Agetha is an attractive, blond homicide detective in Luxembourg. The entire homicide department is female, because Luxembourg usually has zero murders per year, and they've all been KickedUpstairs by their chauvinist male comrades, who derisively refer to Homicide as the Department of Skirts and Stockings.
297* ''Series/PicketFences'' has Deputies Max (Lauren Holly) and Kenny (Costas Mandylor) who are both young and extremely attractive. They also appear to be the most senior officers under Sheriff Jimmy Brock, despite there clearly being older and considerably more average looking deputies in the background of the Rome Sheriff's Department. They're also [[WillTheyOrWontThey each other's]] [[LoveInterest primary love interest]].
298* The 1970s series ''Series/PoliceWoman'' had Pepper Anderson (played by Creator/AngieDickinson). Many of her missions made use of her good looks to get close to male crime bosses.
299* ''Series/{{Psych}}'':
300** Detective Juliet "Jules" O'Hara.
301** Averted with her partner, Detective Lassiter whom is frequently said to resemble Series/MrBean.
302** There's also Buzz [=McNab=], who was moonlighting as a stripper for extra cash.
303* Leslie in ''Series/RepublicOfDoyle''.
304* ''Series/RizzoliAndIsles'': Jane Rizzoli, played by the smokin' hot Creator/AngieHarmon, and her brother Frankie Jr.
305* ''Series/TheRookie'': Lucy, Jackson, Nyla and Tim are all very good-looking. It's [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in "Brave Heart" when someone comments that Tim and Nyla look more like models than police officers.
306* Though their uniforms are unisex and quite authentic, the main cast of ''Series/RookieBlue'' is the definition of this trope.
307* The Major Crime Unit of Cascade, WA's police department in ''Series/TheSentinel''. Especially Det. Rafe.
308* ''Series/ShadesOfBlue'': HollywoodBeautyStandards are very much at play at 64th precinct, with almost all of the officers there being very attractive, with protagonist Harlee herself being the show's MsFanservice.
309* Creator/DisneyChannel's ''Series/ShakeItUp'' has Georgia Jones, who happens to earn a living walking the beat.
310* ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' has one of each gender. For those who like men, there's SilverFox DI Lestrade, who, like most of the male cast, wears [[SharpDressedMan well-tailored suits]]. For those who like women, there's DS Sally Donovan, who's got legs and the gun to back them up.
311* The [[TheEighties late '80s]] brought us Sheriff Hildy Granger, played by the sexy, sassy Creator/SuzanneSomers, in the syndicated sitcom ''[[AlliterativeTitle She's the Sheriff.]]''
312* Ofc. Tina Hanlon on ''Series/TheShield'', which becomes an issue when Dutch Wagenbach falls hard for her.
313* ''Series/SixFeetUnder'': Keith.
314-->'''Keith:''' Most of the men I meet - well, they kinda only want me to be one thing.\
315'''Claire:''' What, big black sex cop? "Sorry I was speeding, officer, I guess you have to punish me now?"\
316'''Keith:''' Yeah, and I don't wanna be that. Rent a video!
317* Lt. Abbie Mills from ''Series/SleepyHollow'' is in no way, shape or form a pain to watch.
318* ''Series/SOKOPotsdam'': Luna Kunath gets hit on several times by suspects she's interrogating, and Samir Amari, a young, fresh-faced detective on his first assignment out of the academy, is actually made the face of a police recruiting poster in season 4, [[PlayedForLaughs much to his chagrin]].
319* Deputy Chief Hale and ATF Agent Stahl are male and female examples respectively on ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy''.
320* ''Series/SquidGame'': CowboyCop Hwang Jun-ho, to the point that he catches the eye of a [[DepravedHomosexual particularly amorous VIP]].
321* The audience ([[FemaleGaze and the camera]]) certainly appreciated ''[[Series/StarskyAndHutch Starsky & Hutch's]]'' tight, tight jeans -- among other fanservice such as ShowerScene or SexySoakedShirt.
322* In the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode [[Recap/SupernaturalS09E02DevilMayCare "Devil May Care" (S09, Ep02)]], Sam and Dean, who are posing as FBI agents, are described as "pretty-boy agents".
323* ''Series/SWAT2017'': Most of the team are quite good-looking. This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in "Homecoming" when Chris, Street and Tan are getting photographed for a publicity piece, where a reporter (who's a very attractive blonde woman too) notes all of them are quite photogenic. It continues to be the case with many other cops, the women especially.
324* ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'':
325** Though Cameron isn't a cop, in one episode she dons a motorcycle cop's uniform. Thus, we have Creator/SummerGlau, in a cop's uniform...
326** Trevor, Kacey's baby-daddy, is this to Kacey, who met him while working in a [[DonutMessWithACop fancy donut shop]] in LA. Once she gets pregnant, though, her attraction to him cools.
327* In ''Series/That70sShow'', [[BrainlessBeauty Kelso]] became a police officer specifically to invoke this.
328* ''Series/TidelandsNetflix'': Corey is a very handsome young police officer.
329* Heather Locklear got her first regular TV role as a uniformed LAPD officer on ''Series/TJHooker''.
330** See also Adrian Zmed as Officer Vince Romano. They both (separately) went undercover as strippers (her UC made the opening credits; his did not).
331* ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'':
332** The whole main team are, or look, rather ridiculously young for an elite group, and are all extremely pretty.
333** Not just the main five. Tetsu, one-shots Mari and Lisa, and [[OldMaid older-but-still-hot]] WrenchWench Swan aren't half bad, either. The chief, a [[Franchise/TheMuppets Muppet]]-looking jackal from the planet Anubis, on the other hand... gets way more RuleThirtyFour than everyone else put together.
334** Their [[Series/PowerRangersSPD American counterparts]] are pretty easy on the eye themselves.
335* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' has Gwen Cooper and PC Andy.
336* Russian ForensicDrama ''Series/{{Trace}}'' has pretty much ALL of female cast qualifying to this trope. [[https://sun9-28.userapi.com/s/v1/if1/FSVTdTyadGcJRMdcmag-FI5z0EAyqxzJ-Oepb5ZfOh5mERu0Hc3bWxdkRpXxct30r-H8ko5x.jpg?size=1280x720&quality=96&type=album You]] [[https://sun9-25.userapi.com/s/v1/if1/Nt3xAEmAIthISFWAMoIO3VXmlqQGlfQHnvp4PEx2wq0ATa_weI3rFej9oWfu08wOBShn_BI8.jpg?size=1280x720&quality=96&type=album can]] [[https://sun9-88.userapi.com/s/v1/if1/9K7fAJCfdJrL1dRnW7_WsflxmLoS3C8j6211N6xgGIr8q6ZPIocEIYErgU33UvoJDrabvOGm.jpg?size=1280x720&quality=96&type=album see]] [[https://sun9-4.userapi.com/s/v1/if1/gt9vfl8N9QuU_pEASF_K_4YlQVlRP-p1LO5VEFqT1B6YC-6lWapwtpha3a-Q0YD7_yPffuDB.jpg?size=1280x720&quality=96&type=album it]] [[https://sun9-58.userapi.com/s/v1/if2/KL7j4g-kfdrxxY7AXkvDwNLCVzhAOA71Atj3JLrhmbA0ugg-BCXhjTW1dJPkxKpaP-7BbTf5bR4bMDB6fUo4AVTH.jpg?size=1280x720&quality=96&type=album yourself]].
337* ''Series/TwinPeaks'':
338** Special Agent Dale Cooper is ''very'' easy on the eyes. It's easy to see why Audrey Horne is so taken with him.
339** Season 3 introduces Agent Tammy Preston, who is young, attractive, and subject to scenes of EatingTheEyeCandy. FBI Chief of Staff Denise Bryson suspects that this is the reason why Deputy Director Gordon Cole put her on his team.
340* An in-universe example in ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'' with [[TheDitz Kandi]] played by April Bowdry getting a part in a CSI expy.
341* Amber Tamblyn was undercover as a prostitute at the start of the pilot episode of ''Series/TheUnusuals''. The undercover part ended after about two minutes of showtime, but she didn't get a chance to change her clothes until later in the episode. She looked fine either way.
342* Stella Goodman and Mel Silver in ''Series/WakingTheDead2010''.
343* Lt. Dawn Lerner (Creator/ChristineWoods) in Season 5 of ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' overlapping with ArcVillain.
344* While most of the cast of ''Series/WhitechapelTVSeries'' are pretty normal looking (though not unattractive), the show also has tall, blond and handsome DI Joe Chandler, and the adorable youngest team member DC Emerson Kent (nicknamed DC Bambi by some fans).
345* ''Series/TheWire'':
346** Lt. Cedric Daniels, a lean and statuesque officer.
347** [=Jimmy McNulty=] is something of a manwhore. He's a very handsome manly man.
348** Kima Greggs is a female example. She has a pretty face and is very slim. She is somewhat unusual for the trope since she is a butch lesbian who doesn't seem to care much for traditional male ideas of female beauty.
349* Undercover fed Vincent Terranova of ''Series/{{Wiseguy}}'' was remarkably good-looking, so much so that it ought to have tipped somebody off that he's not the hardened criminal he pretends to be. A real lifelong gangster would most likely have gotten his face smacked around at some point -- especially as the character is a Golden Gloves boxer.
350* Pretty much all of the FBI agents on ''Series/WithoutATrace'', but Martin Fitzgerald and Samantha Spade arguably take the cake
351* ''Series/WonderWoman1975'': Carolyn Hamilton (played by Jayne Kennedy) in "Knockout" is a beautiful former cop who kidnaps Steve Trevor rather than letting him be killed because of a debt she owes him in her former profession.
352* ''Series/TheXFiles'':
353** Mulder. Tall, dark, handsome, troubled, frequently shirtless or working out...
354** Scully. She started as a cute young woman, and ended a complete knock-out. Somewhere around season 4, they stopped dressing her down and she started to wear tighter clothes.
355** In the fanfic world, there's also a sizable block thinking Skinner is hot. There is a segment of one of the gag reels that features him stripping down to his skivvies to "I'm Too Sexy". He had quite a few MrFanservice moments.
356*** In RealLife, several behind-the-scenes articles about the series discuss the fact that Mitch Pileggi, the actor who played Skinner, got a great deal of attention from female cast and crew during filming.
357[[/folder]]
358
359[[folder:Magazines]]
360* Playboy would create a media uproar for putting real life policewoman Carol Shaya on their cover in a faux NYPD uniform and feature her inside in a nude pictorial. She would subsequently be fired from the force but earn $100,000 for the shoot.
361[[/folder]]
362
363[[folder:Music]]
364* Lovely Rita, the meter maid of Music/TheBeatles' song.
365* Although the song itself isn't about this, Music/{{Beyonce}} wearing a policewoman's uniform in the video for "If I Were a Boy" qualifies.
366* Music/LilWayne's "Mrs. Officer".
367* "I Want to Be Raided by You" by Music/ColePorter: ''When he shakes his stick, I get the kind of kick I thought was obsolete.''
368* The Music/RedHotChiliPeppers song "Sir Psycho Sexy" depicts an incident with one of these, as well as various other conquests.
369* "Women in Uniform" by Australian band The Skyhooks:
370-->Beehive hairdo, 45 on the hip\
371Patrolwoman Saunders don't you give her no lip\
372Took me to the station for a breath test\
373Then back to her bedroom for some house arrest
374* "You've got that vibe" by R Kelly features a beautiful model in NYPD uniform twirling her nightstick.
375* "Day n nite" by Kid Cudi has him serving a beautiful female police officer whilst working at a flling station and fantasising about her as a dancing dominatrix.
376* "This Afternoon" by Nickleback has a beautiful female police officer called to noisy party who eventually strips to her fancy underwear and joins in the fun.
377* "Pump the Jam" by Technotronic features a dominatrix style beautiful female cop who joins in the dancing rather than trying to clear the congestion.

380[[folder:Video Games]]
381* In ''VideoGame/DetectivePikachuReturns'', two female citizens of Ryme City gush about how attractive they find local policeman Brad [=McMasters=] to be.
382* Emily in ''VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition'' is quite a looker.
383* Julie Kidman in ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin'':
384** Also Sebastian Castellanos and Joseph Oda
385* ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' is also not short on characters fitting this trope, given the fact that the player character and its closest allies are members of the local sheriff department. While the elder Sheriff Whitehorse is more closer to a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, the customizable player character and his/her fellow deputies fit this trope by the book (Deputy Pratt as the male version, Deputy Hudson as the female, and the CowboyCop protagonist as either of these, depending on their sex chosen at the beginning of the campaign). Marshall Burke is a bit of a mixed bag: while he's also rather handsome, the narrative goes great lengths to emphasize his LawfulStupid and DirtyCoward personality instead.
386* Lucia Morgan from ''VideoGame/FinalFight 3''.
387* ''VideoGame/GhostTrick'' has Lynne, a pretty teenage redhead who has just been named detective. She seems to attract the eyes and occupy the thoughts of some male officers. One of them even falls in LoveAtFirstSight with her.
388* ''VideoGame/GingaFukeiDensetsuSapphire'' has a cast of pretty young policewomen in form-fitting suits.
389* ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'': Barney Calhoun as a Metro Cop in City 17 has more than his fair share of fan girls.
390* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'':
391** Caitlyn, the Sherrif of Piltover. Her "Officer Caitlyn" skin ramps up [[MinidressOfPower the sexy]], making her look more like a stripper wearing a "sexy policewoman" costume than a real lawbringer. Eventually Riot [[OldShame got a bit embarrassed by this]] and remodeled her to play down the blatant sexiness of her outfits, with her Officer skin replacing the stripper outfit with something an actual police officer would wear.
392** Her partner Vi, the Piltover Enforcer eventually received a matching skin. She at least gets pants rather than a miniskirt thanks to being a bruiser rather than a marksman, but if anything her boobs are even BIGGER.
393* ''VideoGame/LikeADragon'':
394** Kaoru Sayama from ''VideoGame/Yakuza2'' is a beautiful young detective who manages to win the heart of series protagonist Kiryu. She even gets a {{fanservice}} scene where Kiryu walks in on her after she's showered, much to [[CelibateHero his]] awkwardness.
395** Masayoshi Tanimura from ''VideoGame/Yakuza4'' is a PrettyBoy detective, with women frequently flirting with him and thugs often disparaging him for his looks. His remastered appearance, due to having to [[InkSuitActor change his likeness]], has a different haircut and a goatee that make him more ruggedly handsome, with various "pretty boy" remarks instead changed to people mistaking him for a host or an actor instead of a cop.
396* You encounter a few [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe asari]] police in ''Franchise/MassEffect'', especially when you visit Illium in ''2''. Detective Anaya gets special mention on the grounds that she gets the most screentime.
397* Officer Patricia Wagon of the ''VideoGame/MightySwitchForce'' is not uncomely.
398* ''VideoGame/TheMisadventuresOfTronBonne'', a spinoff of ''VideoGame/MegaManLegends'' has Denise Marmalade, a cute rookie cop who tries (but fails) to arrest Tron several times during the game.
399* Kurtis Stryker in ''Franchise/MortalKombat''. Also, [[spoiler:his partner Kabal was pretty handsome too, before his EmergencyTransformation, as ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'' shows.]]
400* Aya Brea from ''VideoGame/ParasiteEve'' has quite a few admirers over the course of the game series, including her nameless date at the beginning of the series, Maeda, Pierce, and Kyle.
401* ''VideoGame/Persona2'' gives us Tatsuya's older brother, Katsuya, who is stated to be the target of all the women on the force's affection. It's stated in a TV program on 3 that Tatsuya himself became a cop.
402* The ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' series loves this trope and features numerous extremely attractive officers over the course of the franchise. Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Albert Wesker, and Rebecca Chambers are all very easy on the eyes, with the second game introducing fan-favorite PrettyBoy Leon S. Kennedy.
403* ''VideoGame/SilentHillDownpour'':
404** Anne Cunningham.
405** The ''Silent Hill'' series also has Cybil Bennett, who appears in several of the games. The trope was played to its hilt in the film's portrayal of her.
406* FoxyVixen Carmelita Montoya Fox from ''Franchise/SlyCooper'' is a tough-as-nails police woman, and is drop-dead gorgeous. It's no wonder everyone's favorite thief has a crush on her.
407* ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'': [[KickChick Chun Li]] is an agent of Interpol's Chinese branch, who according to WordOfGod, is the most beautiful woman in ''Street Fighter's'' canon. Some of her quotes in later games reflect this. (For example, demanding Yoshimitsu's ID and fighting him to confiscate the sword, and arresting her defeated opponent for "interfering with official Interpol business and [[HypocriticalHumor destruction of public property"]].
408* Lt. Christine Malone from the ''VideoGame/TimeSplitters'' series. According to the game, her impeccable arrest record is enough to make her chest swell with pride.
409* In the PC-98 exclusive ''VideoGame/TouhouYumejikuuPhantasmagoriaOfDimDream'', the maniacal princess Kotohime fancies herself a police officer, though the other characters' reactions suggest it's just one of her delusions. Win the game as her, and in a post-game cutscene she'll even wear a uniform.
410* ''VideoGame/UrbanRivals'' has plenty of these, mostly in Sentinel. Chloe and Aurelia stand out, and Miranda is a fetish version.
411[[/folder]]
412
413[[folder:Visual Novels]]
414* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'': Maggey Byrde is a {{Meganekko}} who is considered very pretty by several characters, though this trope only applies in her first appearance since she's fired from the force at the end of the game, [[NewJobAsThePlotDemands and in later games she's no longer a cop]].
415* ''VisualNovel/MetroPDCloseToYou'' is a RomanceGame set in the Special Investigations 2nd Unit. As all of the detectives in the unit (as well as several others from other units) are all prospective love interests, it should come to no one's surprise that all of them are smoking hot.
416* While Ooe from ''VisualNovel/SpiritHunterNG'' isn't a MsFanservice, her half-lidded eyes, buttoned-down shirt, and husky voice make her seem sultry. Once she joins up with the group, she makes a couple jokes about Akira being attracted to her, much to [[ChasteHero his]] annoyance.
417[[/folder]]
418
419[[folder:Webcomics]]
420* The Webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Girly}}'' has a very lampshaded version in the form of Officer [[HartmanHips Hipbone]] (note her name, and note her most noticeable physical trait), and Policeguy is considered one of this - TheCasanova had mistaken him for a pretty woman before his haircut.
421* ''Webcomic/ImTheGrimReaper'': Chase is a detective (one on leave) and is very pretty. He even gets a (sort of) shirtless scene.
422* ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'': [[WordOfGod Tracy's rendering]] of FBI agent Dom as a human squarely points to him being TallDarkAndHandsome.
423* In ''Webcomic/SwordCatPrincess'', Detective Erica Richards is attractive enough that she has previously posed nude for Pleb Boi (the in-universe analogue of Playboy magazine); she keep a framed copy of the magazine cover [[http://swordcatprincess.thecomicseries.com/comics/75/ on her desk]].
424* In ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'', Captain Toma's heroic exploits won him recognition, but his good looks [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch08/ch08_06.html caught the interest]] of a noblewoman who later married him. [[spoiler:This proves to be a poor foundation for a successful marriage.]]
425* Parodied with Officer [=McSexy=] of ''Webcomic/WarAndPeas'', a cop who is both very sexy and very flirtatious. Posing in front of a criminal distracts him long enough to arrest the criminal, who even hits on him on the way to the police car.
426* Justin of ''Webcomic/WapsiSquare'' is a male example. While he's more cute in a dorky way than straight-up attractive, the comic's female characters certainly think he fits. One is dating him, and another has a crush on him.
427[[/folder]]
428
429[[folder:Web Original]]
430* [[Literature/WhateleyUniverse Whateley Academy]] security officer Samantha Everheart. Not only is she a hot blonde, but she looks like she seventeen, despite the fact that technically she is old enough to be retired from the U.S. Navy. As an admiral.
431* Detectives Winters and Martinez of ''WebVideo/WhereTheBearsAre''.
432[[/folder]]
433
434[[folder:Western Animation]]
435* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'': Vi explicitly calls rogue enforcer Caitlyn "hot" and both a male and a female patron at a brothel seem enamored with her.
436* Ellen Yin in ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman''.
437* A DirtyHarriet from the ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'' episode "Feel a Cop".
438* ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'': Officer Meow-Meow Fuzzyface, at least if you're into attractive {{Funny Animal}}s.
439* Miranda Wright from ''WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}''.
440* There's a few [[Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse DCAU]] ones- [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries Renee Montoya]], [[WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries Maggie Sawyer]], [[WesternAnimation/BatmanMysteryOfTheBatwoman Sonia Alcana]], [[WebAnimation/GothamGirls Caroline Greenway]], Selma Reesedale, anybody not named Harvey Bullock or Dan Turpin. Also, [[Characters/HarleyQuinnTheCharacter Harley Quinn]] disguises herself as one in "Joker's Favor". (Or maybe she's posing as a stripper in a police costume. Her first appearance, incidentally.)
441* Rosie O'Gravy from ''WesternAnimation/DogCity''.
442* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Colleen, Fry’s love interest in ''[[Recap/FuturamaM2TheBeastWithABillionBacks The Beast with a Billion Backs]]'' is revealed to be this when she and her fellow officers are ordered by Nixon [[PoliceBrutality to beat up Farnsworth and Wernstrom for protesting the DOOP being sent at the anomaly.]]
443* Elisa Maza and Captain Chavez from ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''. Or, for male examples, you've got Matt Bluestone and Morgan Morgan.
444* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'': When it was revealed that [[TallDarkAndHandsome Mako]] is going to be a cop in Season 2, fans of him were ecstatic, with reactions to the rough sketches ranging from "I'm so excited" to "THERE GOES MY OVARIES."
445* Pizzaz (definitely), Chrysalis (in her own bookish way), and several other (unnamed) female officers from ''WesternAnimation/MoonbeamCity''.
446* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Monty Burns falls for Gloria (usually depicted as Snake's girlfriend) on Flag Day as she is giving him a parking ticket. Marge probably counts as one in the episode where she becomes a cop. As for the male officers, Lou doesn't look so bad.
447* Felina and Ulysses Feral in ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'' are sexy as hell.
448* Evans from ''WesternAnimation/WorldOfWinx''. (A given, considering World of Winx is a spinoff of ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub''.)
449* Luba from ''WesternAnimation/YvonOfTheYukon''. Besides being the sexiest woman in Upyermukluk, she is the ''only'' kind of law enforcement in the town as its sheriff.
