Line 17:
** ''[[Appleseed]]'''s ESWAT units (mecha).
** Section 9 Public Security in ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]'' and ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]''. Cyborg bodies, advanced weapons, Tachikomas, super hacker skillz, etc. It helps that most of their field operatives are former soldiers.
** Averted with ''[[Patlabor]]''. They ''could'' be Supercops, but regulations have them stuck in the station until a crook brings out his own [[Humongous Mecha]]. For regular criminals they have to go on foot just like all other cops, and face the same obstacles.
** ''[[Dominion Tank Police]]'' probably counts. I mean, these are cops... with TANKS. [[Tank Goodness|Really BIG tanks]], at that. And unlike the Patlabor dudes, these fellows DO move against any and all crime, with superior firepower through and through. Unfortunately for the city, they're also all [[Cowboy Cop|Cowboy Cops]]... can you say 'Collateral Damage'?

* In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', most named members of [[The Federation|the Time-Space Administration Bureau's]] Enforcer division would fall under this. However, special mention goes to {{spoiler|Fate Testarossa-Harlaown}}, who also happens to be [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke|a genetically-engineered]] [[Super Soldier|Artificial Mage]].
* The two police forces in ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'' and ''[[A Certain Scientific Railgun]]'' qualify: Antiskill has the equipment, while Judgment has the superpowers. Judgment branch office 177 (where two of the regular characters from ''Railgun'' work) is noted even by their opponents for having superlative officers.
