== [[Comic Books]] ==
* A major theme in ''[[Batman: Year One]]'' is that most of the police department is
* In ''[[Sin City]]'', the police force is so corrupt, it's actually shocking when people find a cop who is clean. In the first story, police death squads are sent after Marv in order to silence him after he's framed for murder. In ''That Yellow Bastard'' almost the entire police force are willing to protect a pedophile [[Serial Killer]] son of a senator, going so far as to frame one of their own (probably the only ''good'' cop of the entire bunch). In ''The Big Fat Kill'', a recently killed [[Domestic Abuser]] is exposed as being a hero cop, which is bad news for Old Town (because {{spoiler|the truce between the girls and the cops forbids the girls to kill cops that wander into their territory, in exchange for the girls being allowed to protect their own and keep the cops and the mob out}}). In ''Hell And Back'', the cops are in league with an assassin guild. At least in ''Hell and Back'' the police chief briefly rediscovers his morals long enough to help the protagonist finish off the assassins/human traffickers.
== [[Film]] ==

* ''[[Pineapple Express]]'' has this when Dale sees that a police officer in uniform is present when Ted murders a rival
* The bad guys in the remake of ''[[Assault on Precinct 13]]''.
* ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'' - the {{spoiler|Chief of Police}} turns out to be in on the bizarre "accidents" surrounding the town.
