Let's look at police officers! Let's include sheriffs and their deputies, too.

Aunts and Butlers (2006)
> x Sergeant Plank (@ Police station)
The sole representative of the forces of law and order in Bickering, Sergeant Plank's face shows an expression evenly balanced between no-nonsense authority and idiotic bewilderment; this isn't a man who knows what the 'I' in CID stands for. He has perfected the skill of looking just the strapping side of threatening in his neat blue uniform, which his shoulders are only a little too broad for.
Beneath: a Transformation (2007)
> x mad cop (@ Cell)
The cop has a savage and unnatural gleam in his eyes.
Brain Guzzlers from Beyond! (2015)
> x Officer Buck Wilcox (@ Police Station)
He's reclining in his chair, half dozing. The police phone is resting on his gut, just in case he gets a call.
> x Deputy Wilcox (@ Town Square Center)
Buck Wilcox's nephew, a slim, brown-haired kid no more than twenty. He really cares about upholding the law, and more than that, making sure Canyonville is a nice place to live. His hobbies interests include planting trees and then getting cats out of them.
> x body (@ Pool of Light)
Even Officer Wilcox didn't deserve to die like this! The one consolation is that his brain appears to have been pulled out through his ear before the car hit the wall, so at least he didn't suffer. He's been splattered by that greenish-yellow goo the Brain Guzzlers leave everywhere, and you spot a few flecks of something solid in it. On closer inspection, they appear to be fragments of eggshell.
Bullhockey! (2018)
> x O'Neal (@ Booking Area)
A very straight-up looking officer. Clean-cut, forty-ish. Looks like he does his push-ups.
Citizen of Nowhere (2019)
> x officer (@ Outside Number 10 Clowning Street)
A Somewhere police officer, unlike the military goons they're usually polite, even if politely telling you to sod off.
She is wearing a black trousered uniform, with a flat cap with a checkerboard black and white pattern on its brim.
The Legend of Horse Girl (2022)
> x sheriff (@ Boneyard)
The sheriff's ghost appears as a faintly transparent image of a floating skeleton dressed in the rags of a sheriff's uniform. He looks just like his cadaver.
The Magnificent Museum of Masterly Masterworks (2020)
> x cops (@ Nifty Gallery of Beautiful Paintings)
On this canvas is a pair (or is it *are* a pair? there's only one pair but there are two cops...) of police officers. The one on the left is blonde and the one on the right has a great big mustache. They are both sitting in some kind of booth, eating some delicious looking tacos. They have little name tags that identify them as Rae and Bob.
Mean Mother Trucker (2021)
> x cop (@ Parking Lot)
A bear if you ever saw one, this block-shaped, pink-faced, buzz cut smokey wears the dingy tan uniform of a highway patrolman. He leans over the counter, a smug grin across his blobby square face as he chats up the waitress. By the looks of her, she's not pleased with his attention. A radio hangs from his belt.
My Evil Twin (2012)
> x policeman (@ Jail)
He looks thoroughly unsympathetic. On his belt is a conspicuous key ring.
Nowheresville (2022)
> x deputy (@ Sheriff's Office)
You don't like accusing people of being fat, but this guy is fat. He's clearly never seen a donut he's disliked. He also seems like the type to look down the barrel of a loaded gun to see why it didn't fire.
Perdition's Flames (1993)
> x officer (@ Celestial Security Office)
He's dressed in a drab, light blue Celestial Security Administration uniform.
