Four-Star Badass has some of the scenario you listed also listed there.

It does, and thanks - but it mostly seems to refer more to a character trait than the one-episode plotline I usually see the scenario above occur in. The 'Da Chief To The Rescue' example given would sort of work, but A) It's not linked as a trope and B) Doesn't cover the flip side (where the boss does not handle working the streets well). An example of the latter would be Will Pope from The Closer, who attempted to do a ride-along as 'just one of the guys' and ended up handing over evidence to a fake cop named Richard Tracy, if you'll pardon a low-quality clip.
