TV Cops - Poll

**TXPO710** · 03-17-09, 09:23 AM

You left out:
TJ Hooker
SWAT (the original)
My co workers seem to think I'm Tackleberry.

**JSO85360** · 03-17-09, 09:33 AM

I'm changing my choice to Dirty Harry. He gets to shoot like eight people in the morning before coffee, and never go before a review board, just get taken out of homicide for a day till they beg him to come back because they can't solve the murders without him. wrecks three or four cars a week and doesn't have to go to remedial driving, or even wait for his car to get fixed. Just pick up a new one. Never heard him read anyone their rights, and touches everything he can at every crime scene he goes to......Now that's police work.

That's what I want to know. I guess you couldn't put every TV cop in the poll. Watching Adam-12 as a kid started my interest in law enforcement. It fostered respect in me for Police Officers at an early age and curiosty about police tactics that have served me well over the years. It still is one of the most realistic TV depictions of police work in my opinion, even after all of these years.

More Pete Malloy than Jim Reed. Malloy was the cynical veteran officer and Reed was the gung-ho young officer.Malloy spent a lot of time trying to keep Reed from getting himself killed early in their partnership. I guess because I have been a trainer and FTO for most of my career and tend to be a cynical soul , I would have to say Malloy. Most Jim Reeds , if they stay in law enforcement long enough turn into Pete Malloys as did Reed at the end of the series. No one was more happier about that than Pete Malloy.

Sipowitz because of his early racist tendancy's. I always love a challenge.

N.Y.P.D. BLUE. It was one the the best alltime cop shows. Lot of great actors through the seasons. Andy was never short of a smart... comment.

I'd go with MacNulty from The Wire.

On speaking of "relations" though, I'd like nothing more than to "relate" with olivia benson from Law & order SVU, especially over dinner and drinks.

shouldn't that be "here's to our wives and girlfriends, and hope they never meet?"

I've known some old guys like Sgt Fish. Know a hell of a lot, but now are into "economy of action"....

Well just excuse the hell outta me,

I get outta the car once in awhile.

**Donut Aficionado** · 03-17-09, 06:30 PM

I had tp pick Barney Fife....As a Veterans Affairs Cop, I'm lucky to have a gun!!!

**2 Blue 4 U** · 03-17-09, 07:53 PM

Which of the following TV cops do you feel you could most relate to (as a law enforcement officer)? Why?

Oliva Bensen & Lennie Briscoe (Law and Order) Cross between the two, because as Xiphos said, Lennie has the wit and sarcasm and Olivia is like me, a female.

Did not watch much TV back then but catch a few shows off Third Watch, excellent show!

That was a good show. It really pissed me off when they took it off the air after such a short run. They had a hit and took it away??????

I agree. That was a fun show. Especially since every call was an emergency and they drifted through every turn on the way to it. And there was no traffic.

I did like that show though, it was fun to watch.

**kannahspapa** · 03-17-09, 09:45 PM

I like Det. Joe Fontana ( Dennis Farina ), mostly because he's the only one that I know was an actual LEO.

Chuck Norris is an actual LEO, so you could include Walker, Texas Ranger.

He's not much like me, but he's been one of my favorite cop characters. I'd love to be partnered with him.

I know this is kind of getting off topic, but what about the show High Incident? That was another good one taken off air WAY too fast. It came out right when I figured out I wanted to be a cop.

You should get Chuck on O/R!

**SPD** · 03-18-09, 10:56 AM

Fish. No doubt.

Not married yet, so I had to tweak it.

**resq14** · 03-18-09, 12:59 PM

Another shout-out for John Sullivan (Sully) on Third Watch.

Though I'm often more like Maurice Boscorelli (Bosco).

(my favorite show ever)

Another good show that they canceled - Yeah Sully was great.
