Getting stopped, interrogated, or arrested by cops usually isn't anyone's idea of a good time unless the sheriff's and detectives are like the ones we've seen on television.
You know, the caring ones who look damn good in a uniform. Most of the TV cops on this list solve crimes, take down the bad guys, and keep their fictional towns and cities safe from danger. Not to mention, they'd jump in to protect you without hesitation.
We wouldn't mind getting arrested by these men and women in uniform, just don't get on their bad side unless your goal is to end up in handcuffs.

They're the Bonnie & Clyde of police work. With Liv's multiple personalities, there's never a dull day.
Hannah Wells - Designated Survivor
I truly hope there's a Hannah Wells working in our FBI/CSI because nothing, and I mean nothing, ever gets past her. She's the sharpest on the team and ahead of every curve, which is why she briefly became the right-hand woman for President Kirkman.
Ruzek - Chicago PD
For the most part, Ruzek is a decent cop who is loyal to a fault. He's gotten himself mixed up in a few messy situations because he's covered for his team. It helps that he looks like an Abercrombie & Fitch model.

Kate's mother's death is the inspiration behind her becoming a cop. She kept her past a mystery but believed that there was more to the story than just a random murder.

Max's instinct is to protect the people of Roswell, but his role as a deputy also allows him to cover up any supernatural occurrences and keep his and his siblings' identities a secret.

Technically, Noah should be a villain because he lied to Annie and went undercover as her boss at Fine & Frugal, but we can't stay mad at the FBI agent for doing his job and genuinely falling for her.
Michael Cordero - Jane the Virgin
At home, Michael was Jane's silly boyfriend-turned-husband, but at work, Michael was dedicated to bringing down crime lord Sin Rostro.
Stan - Good Girls
When it comes to a really good guy, Stan's your man. He's a good husband, a good father, and a decent cop.

The former partners used to be one of the best parts of Chicago PD.
They were silly best friends who always had each other's backs and knew when to get serious. Not much has changed since they leveled up to Intelligence.

Still, her quick wits allow her to figure out the real terrorist before another catastrophe strikes.
