<title>Login required - All The Tropes</title>
A constellation of two cops or detectives, an older one and a younger one. Inevitably, the older one becomes some kind of father figure to the other. In addition to that, they are often presented as very different from each other, which may or may not result in conflict between them. Maybe the older one is experienced while the younger one is new to the job. Maybe the younger one is emotional and short-tempered while the older one is more like [[The Stoic]]. Maybe the younger one is idealistic while the older one tends more towards cynicism. Maybe it's a case of [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]. Maybe the older one is a [[Agent Scully|rationalist]] while the younger one tends towards more intuitive methods of investigation - or maybe the other way round. If they appear in a crime or mystery setting (and they are very unlikely to be seen elsewhere), expect them to be the main characters. Also, expect at least one of them to be personally involved in the case in one way or the other.

'''2006:''' Played with this time: Average-experience cop Ed Green and total newbie Nina Cassidy. Cassidy left the show after one season, and was replaced with Cyrus Lupo, a cop with some seasoning, thus breaking the Trope. }}
</div>
** Played straight since season two of ''[[Law and Order Special Victims Unit|Law & Order: SVU]]'' with Munch and Fin—Though one could argue they're both seasoned veterans, Munch is noticeably older, and has probably been on the force longer.

* ''[[Twin Peaks]]'': Windom Earle and Dale Cooper ''might'' have been this in the times before Earle's insanity.
<div id="p-namespaces" role="navigation" class="vectorTabs" aria-labelledby="p-namespaces-label">
* Done so often on British TV that it's probably easier to list the British cop shows which '''DON'T''' feature this combo at some point, but what the hell, here's just a few examples which do:
<h3 id="p-namespaces-label">Namespaces</h3>
** ''[[Dalziel and Pascoe|Dalziel & Pascoe]]'' - featuring, well, Dalziel and Pascoe
<ul>
** ''[[Inspector Morse]]'' - featuring Morse and DS Lewis
<li id="ca-nstab-special" class="selected"><span><a href="/w/index.php?action=raw&amp;title=Old+Cop%2C+Young+Cop" title="This is a special page, and it cannot be edited">Special page</a></span></li> </ul>
** ''[[Lewis]] (aka Inspector Lewis)'' - featuring Lewis from the aforementioned show, [[Master Apprentice Chain|now promoted to DI and partnered with DS Hathaway]] (Has led to speculation that in another 20 years, there will be a new show entitled "Hathaway"/"Inspector Hathaway")
</div>
** ''[[Taggart]]'' - featuring DCI Jim Taggart, partnered with first DS Peter Livingstone and then (as the better example) DS/DI Mike Jardine (although, the show did become more of an ensemble, in later seasons)
<div id="p-variants" role="navigation" class="vectorMenu emptyPortlet" aria-labelledby="p-variants-label">
** ''The Ruth Rendell Mysteries'' - featuring DCI Reg Wexford and DI Mike Burden (might not be the best example, one might argue that Burden is more of a little brother than a son-like figure to Wexford)
<input type="checkbox" class="vectorMenuCheckbox" aria-labelledby="p-variants-label" />
** ''[[Life On Mars]]'' - featuring DCI Gene Hunt and DI Sam Tyler
<h3 id="p-variants-label">
*** This one is a bit of a variation, as both are experienced, but in their own time periods.
<span>Variants</span>
** ''[[Midsomer Murders]]'' - featuring DCI Barnaby and Sergeant Troy, [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute|Sergeant Scott and finally Constable Jones]].
</h3>
** ''[[Cadfael (TV series)|Cadfael]]'' - has a variant. The series is set in medieval times and therefore before police existed, but Cadfael is an older detective monk who has a quasi-paternal relationship with lawman Hugh Berrigar.
<div class="menu">
* ''The Streets Of San Francisco'' (1972–77), starring Karl Malden (older cop) and [[Michael Douglas]] (younger cop).
<ul>
* Sully and Davis on ''[[Third Watch]]''.
</ul>
* The dynamic between all the rookies and their Training Officers on ''[[Rookie Blue]]''. Actual partnerships change from episode to episode.
</div>

</div>
==Video Games==
</div>
* ''[[L.A. Noire]]'': Cole Phelps and his partners [[Shell-Shocked Veteran|Herschel Biggs]] and [[Noble Bigot with a Badge|Rusty Galloway]] certainly fit the bill.
