Fictional police officers are characters created in literature, film, and television who serve as law enforcement agents. They often embody traits such as bravery, intelligence, and a strong sense of justice. These characters can be found in various genres, from crime dramas to comedies, and they often face moral dilemmas while solving cases. Many fictional police officers are inspired by real-life law enforcement but may possess exaggerated skills or face extraordinary situations. Iconic examples include Sherlock Holmes, a detective known for his keen observation, and Detective Olivia Benson from the series Law & Order: SVU, who tackles complex social issues while solving crimes.
