Dexter Morgan

Not sworn PD, but works for the PD forensics lab... close enough.  Clears more murder cases solo than any of the other cops in this thread and then saves tax payers money while keeping the coral reefs fed.  The US would be a better place if every state had a dozen Dexter Morgan's

I always wondered why Hamilton Burger (and Lt Tragg) weren't fired.  Seems like they lost every case against Perry.  

Those guys knew how to party.  Raymond Burr was a flaming homosexual, and the guy that played Hamilton Burger was arrested for participating in some wild nude parties.

Of course, he was Hamilton Burger's right hand man on Perry Mason......the once from the 50s and 60s.

I thought he was just Canadian.

Andy Sipowitz was one of the best written characters in TV law enforcement history.

Reed and Malloy for city patrol cops.

Joe Friday and Bill Gannon for detectives, although Friday's lack of interpersonal silks would limit him in real life.

Marshall Dillon for the best rural cop. Can do the small town political BS but isn't afraid to enforce the law when needed.

Some of y'all are old...some black and white series in there. Here are my nominations, picking strictly "cop" characters, e.g. they carried a badge.

1. Andy Sipowicz

2. Frank? Colombo

3. Sgt Joe Friday

4. Jane Rizzoli

5. Leroy Gibbs

Fun fact, Steven Bochco who produced NYPD Blue wrote, and IIRC directed many episodes of Colombo...

Cop-ish honorable mentions:

1. Adrian Monk

2. Jack Bauer

Captain Amos Burke

I was in the 3rd Grade at the time, but when the show came on I was allowed to stay up until the show was over.
It was fun trying to figure out who the killer was.

If you have read it, The New Centurians, and The Choir Boy's are a must follow up.

Your turn.  When you read this thread you will be reminded about how much better TV cops shows used to be even for all the cheeziness and sometimes poor acting.  But there was neither wokeness nor pandering.  It was good guys vs bad guys.

And the good guys were always going to ultimately be smarter.

Tragg and Burger were the worst duo on television. They literally prosecuted innocent people every week.


Best cops were Reed and Malloy from Adam 12.
