Line 102:
* Detective Carter in ''[[Person of Interest]]'' is a serious version, pursuing the vigilante protagonist. She does occasionally team up with Finch and Reese, {{spoiler|the frequency of such team ups increasing up until the season finale, where for the second time, she (along with her partner, Lionel Fusco, who was initially blackmailed into assisting them unbeknownst to Carter until she tracked him down) helped Reese evade the CIA.}} Finch will occasionally contact Carter for information that the NYPD may have on a POI.
* Chief Inspector Teal in ''[[The Saint (TV series)|The Saint]]''.
* One episode of ''[[Burn Notice]]'' has a police detective, correctly, link Mike's group to various C4 explosions around town. {{spoiler]|She lets him go when the group frames a group of criminals she could never pin anything on and is told investigating Mike further will require her freeing those criminals}}.

Line 114:
* Luke Atmey plays the Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist to [[Gentleman Thief]] Mask*DeMasque in ''[[Ace Attorney]]: Trials and Tribulations.'' {{spoiler|1=By which we mean he's blackmailing DeMasque into committing the thefts to make money and get attention.}}
** And in ''Ace Attorney Investigations'' Detective Badd's spent ten years chasing a vigilante thief called the Yatagarasu and has become an expert on his techniques. {{spoiler|By which we mean he ''is'' the Yatagarasu, or at least one of the three people in the Yatagarasu group. Since he's the main detective on the case he can easily erase all evidence of the Yatagarasu's identity.}}
** Dick Gumshoe is usually this, but even moreso in ''Investigations'', where he's Edgeworth's assistant/sidekick. Though he's most used for comedic purposes, he has shades of [[Inspector Lestrade]], [[Determinator]], and [[Dumbass Has a Point]]. Notably, in the last case, he was able to deliver all the remaining evidence needed to incriminate the suspect without ''even being told what to look for''. If he pays more attention to Edgeworth, he could easily [[Took a Level Inin Badass|take a level in badass]] in sequels, but this is unlikely, since now he's more of a [[The Watson]], but at least it's a step up from [[Butt Monkey]].
* Spectre Jondum Bau from ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' is a semi-example. He's not against Shepard, but he is trying to hunt down one of Shepard's friends, Kasumi Goto, [[Classy Cat Burglar]] extraordinaire. Both Bau and Kasumi have great respect for each other.
