{{quote| '''''Meet the cop who can't be stopped.'''''}}
One step up from the [[Cowboy Cop]] who enters [[Hot Pursuit]] with no regard for their own safety or anyone else's, here you have the police who actually have the [[Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?|equipment]], [[Stock Super Powers|the powers]], or whatever else that puts them above and beyond the capabilities of the average police officer. This is common to the point where one of the [[Stock Superhero Day Jobs]] is police work, though they don't always do both at once.
Often takes the form of a [[Superhero]] who works for the police, a [[Cyborg]], or a [[Humongous Mecha]]. A particularly [[Badass Normal]] can even qualify.
Line 12:
Not to be confused with the the [[Jackie Chan]] movie (whose tagline provides the page quote).

* One word: [[Robo Cop]].
* ''[[Police Academy]]'' borders on this when the [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] turn into [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|Bunny Ears Lawyers]]. [[Recycled:
* Of course there's the movie ''[[Film/Super Cop|Super Cop]]'' in which the cop was trying to get killed in the line of duty before he retired in a few days.
** ...that brings a whole new meaning to [[Retirony]].
