By-the-Book Cop	comment	The By-the-Book Cop is a stock character in police shows and crime fiction in general. They're the cop who believes in following the law as it is written, playing by the rules even when the criminal scum they're after does not. A stickler for procedure, the By-the-Book-Cop is quick to chide their rookie partner for playing fast and loose out in the streets, and when they're Da Chief, you'll see them constantly threaten to suspend the loose cannon for their impulsive heat-of-the-moment shoot-first-ask-questions-later behavior. If they deem that the situation warrants it, they may bend the rules slightly, but they'll never go so far as to break them; they are, after all, honest and incorruptible. Appears less regularly as a main character, in which case they're likely to be presented with a To Be Lawful or Good dilemma, and/or act as the only cop who even glances at the book. Often the complete opposite of a Cowboy Cop, with whom they are often paired to form an Odd Couple. If a Good Cop/Bad Cop dynamic forms, they tend to be the good one. Police officers who appear in the Police Procedural tend to be uniformly this type of cop, due to the relative paucity of cowboy cops in Real Life. Depending on the themes of whatever piece of fiction they are in, the By-the-Book-Cop can be either a protagonist who represents the epitome of honesty, or an antagonistic Obstructive Bureaucrat who gets in the Cowboy Cop's way. Can sometimes overlap with Reasonable Authority Figure if they acknowledge that occasional breaches of procedure can be acceptable, or even necessary, depending on the circumstances. But it can just as easily crossover into Lawful Stupid if they adamantly insist on adhering to protocol no matter what (including towards Cop Killers). Compare Always Gets His Man (the idealized hero cop). Contrast with Cowboy Cop (habitual rule-breaker, but good); Dirty Cop (unethical, self-serving); and Rabid Cop (out-and-out psycho).

By-the-Book Cop / int_10bc0a19	comment	Vimes himself also fits this trope, most obviously at the end of Night Watch. While he's far more cynical than Carrot, that same cynicism is basically what makes him The Fettered. He's willing to bend the rules somewhat and tolerates bribes on the level of beer and donuts (and on occasion, actually acts like a Cowboy Cop), but has cast-iron principles he will not break. As Vetinari notes, Vimes has a strong anti-authoritarianism streak despite being authority.

In the not-quite-sequel Who Plugged Roger Rabbit?, Sargeant "Bulldog" Bascomb takes a similar role, but somewhat more similar to Da Chief. (Though Cleaver is still mentioned as the one who habitually hounds Eddie).

By-the-Book Cop / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Captain Carrot, the Literal-Minded adoptive son of dwarfs, who is so consistently by the book that it even rubs off on the otherwise deeply cynical city of Ankh-Morpork. "The Book" in this case being The Laws and Ordinances of The Cities of Ankh and Morpork, published some six generations previously. Carrot isn't just the only copper who follows the book, he's probably the only one who's read it, since the equally by the book but much more pragmatic Commander Vimes got the Librarian to hide it because it was just causing trouble. Also, it's quite heavy, so if Captain Carrot threatens to "throw the book at you", duck. Vimes himself also fits this trope, most obviously at the end of Night Watch. While he's far more cynical than Carrot, that same cynicism is basically what makes him The Fettered. He's willing to bend the rules somewhat and tolerates bribes on the level of beer and donuts (and on occasion, actually acts like a Cowboy Cop), but has cast-iron principles he will not break. As Vetinari notes, Vimes has a strong anti-authoritarianism streak despite being authority.

By-the-Book Cop / int_495ad39d	comment	In Battle Creek, FBI agent Milton Chamberlain is painfully by-the-book and polite, in stark contrast to the Battle Creek police Detective Russ Agnew, who is rude, cynical, and doesn't mind bending a few rules to get the job done. A later episode reveals that Milt hasn't always been this way. After being forced to shoot a teenager and getting another one killed, Milt starts doing everything by the book, annoying his coworkers to the point where they reassign him to Battle Creek.

In the counter-terror unit Section 9, he is the rookie and painfully out of place, as they usually deal with people who have the courts at their call. To his superiors, the laws are merely a "suggestion" for how to achieve justice and safety. The reason he's an asset to the team is because all the others are ex-military special forces, which leads them to have an attitude of shoot first and ask questions later. In contrast, his background as a detective means he's a lot more skilled at investigative work.

In a way, Scully herself plays stern By-the-Book Cop to Mulder's enthusiastic cowboyesque shenanigans. Skinner is no stranger to cowboyish attitude but he is also perfectly aware of how dangerous the environment he is moving in is.

Once you get over the fact that he replaced one of the most beloved characters in the series, the poor fellow's attempts to adapt from his world of by-the-numbers L&O to the weird and wacky world of the X-Files can be somewhat charming.

He doesn't necessarily follow the spirit of these laws, nor show respect to the people who wrote them, but he does follow what's written down. His true purpose seems to be to kill people with Surgebinding abilities, but he'll only do so if he can get a legal writ of execution for some crime they committed. When someone thinks of pardoning his current quarry, he has no choice but to leave her alone. It's also implied that this is true of every Skybreaker (the Radiant Order Nale founded). Many of them choose to follow the law above all else for their Third Ideal, though they can choose to follow something else (many swear to follow Nale himself, for example).

As the head of law enforcement on the station, he does have mercy on people who meant no harm or acted out of desperation, but that does not stop him from taking loitering children to his office and calling their parents to get them. Odo is unique in that he was a by-the-book cop for both the Cardassians during the Occupation and the Federation/Bajorans afterwards, despite them having very different concepts of what law and order are supposed to be. He himself lampshades this by saying no matter whose rules he's enforcing, he holds to a personal belief of what justice is. He is so by the book that Sisko asked him to be the umpire of their baseball game with a team of Vulcans. Odo tossed Sisko and the Vulcan coach from the game because each, on separate occasions, tapped him on the shoulder (to get his attention) and violated the rule against intentionally touching the umpire.

The outwardly-reserved Cowboy Cop on your crew split with the force over increasing frustration with C-Sec's regulations; Commander Shepard has the option to either encourage him in his Cowboy Cop behavior or convince him of the value of doing things by the book. Made far more meaningful considering that as a Spectre, Paragon Shepard actually does have total authority in Citadel Space to act as Judge, Jury, and Executioner if they want to. It's implied that Shepard's actions teach Garrus that just because someone can use force to take down criminals, doesn't mean they should. Of course, in the second game a C-Sec officer admits during Thane's loyalty mission that he's been looking the other way at a certain criminal as long as he "buys tickets to the C-Sec charity ball." The same cop will later skirt rules to let Thane's son off the hook for attempted murder (and, if you choose the Renegade option, the murder you finished), although that's shown as an act of compassion. Overall, not exactly a Cowboy Cop, but he's certainly breaking a few rules at this point.

After he retired after the fourth season, he was replaced by Sheriff Mort Metzger, a former NYPD detective who took the job after mistakenly believing that the town was a peaceful place. Still, he did his job well, considering.

By-the-Book Cop / int_a3c05b3c	comment	Beforeigners: Lars and Alfhildr both do their best. Lars in particular is a stickler for protocol and the series only kicks off because Lars insists on actually investigating a drowned woman's body instead of just calling it an accidental drowning and taking an early lunch. That said, Lars' drug addiction and Alfhildr being a time-displaced Viking shieldmaiden with a tendency to relapse into old habits mean that protocol... sometimes falls by the wayside. In a broader sense, one of the key themes in the series is that police procedure exists for a reason. Cowboy Cop antics never go unpunished, critical evidence that is improperly filed vanishes, reports that were never filed contain vital information, and so on.

By-the-Book Cop / int_b8e5dfd9	comment	Disco Elysium: Kim Kitsuragi, the Player Character's partner, is this, at least by the standards of the setting. He cares more about rules and procedure than most police officers, and will often try to encourage the player to stay on the straight and narrow, and will frown upon them acting like a Cowboy Cop or a Dirty Cop, but he's ultimately not above bending the rules if he sees it as necessary, though he never does so lightly. It is worth pointing out that Kim's by-the-bookness is an image he intentionally cultivates — he trash-talks you at board games by proclaiming that when he wins, he always does it by the book, and in one especially harrowing scene your character will note that professionalism is used by him as a way of soothing himself when in despair. The player, however, can also themselves choose to embrace the trope, by ignoring the wackier dialogue choices and actions, and trying to adhere to regulations. This causes the game to designate the Player Character as a "Boring Cop", and notes that this kind of behavior can not come naturally for someone with his colorful past and current looks. The game will also note that the Boring Cop persona is just another one of your unhealthy coping mechanisms and does nothing to actually help you behave like a normal human being — internalizing the Boring Cop identity will make the game congratulate you on now being both mad and boring.

There are also numerous minor aversions to this trope where Dredd himself brings up that part of being a Judge is using one's own discretion, meaning he occasionally ignores minor crimes or makes allowances for mitigating circumstances. Just like a real cop, only less often.

He's actually a jewel thief who's posing as a cop trying to retrieve the stolen diamond he had hidden in the police station two years before. By the end, though, Carlson has learned enough to understand how it all really works (he deliberately lets "Malone" cross the Mexican border before revealing that he knows who he is and then pointing out that "Malone" is out of his jurisdiction).

By-the-Book Cop / int_e5feb1e	comment	Ace Attorney: Edgeworth is a by-the-book prosecutor (which is almost the same thing as a cop in this universe) in Ace Attorney Investigations. He goes by the rule of evidence, even when someone's guilt is blindingly obvious. In the first game, pre-Heelâ€“Face Turn, he is a little less ethical. One might file the judge under this trope. He responds only to presented evidence and testimony, despite his senile appearance. The playable characters also fall under this, since gameplay forces them to adhere to the rules of the court system, which insist on providing evidence to back up everything. This is lampshaded to hell and back in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney when several cases are specifically designed for it to be obvious who the real murderer is, only for the Judge to have to keep turning down Apollo's claims on the grounds of lack of decisive evidence. This is the main reason Phoenix goes about setting up the Jurist System, to try to get around those sorts of issues.

By-the-Book Cop / int_fb1f271c	comment	Lilo & Stitch: Pleakley, during his time as an agent for the Galactic Federation, is shown to be a strict guy who follows the rules, which is part of the reason why he is partnered up with Jumba to make sure Jumba does not do anything reckless or escape from federation custody. It's shown when Pleakley insists that they capture Jumba's creation, Stitch, without blowing their cover as aliens, which is why they pretend to be husband and wife when they reach Earth. Of course, Pleakley gets fired after many backfired attempts to capture Stitch while following the book.

This foreshadows his actions in a later episode where he insists on investigating another detective's murky account of a shooting, despite the fact that the man is a very good friend of his partner Ronnie.

By-the-Book Cop / int_ff1346be	comment	The Shadow Line: Jonah Gabriel gives the impression of one at first, though he has cowboyish traits like his refusal to obey his superiors' wish that he stop investigating Harvey Wratten's death and he's hinted for a while to have been an actual Dirty Cop before he lost his memory. Robert Beatty, though he's a customs officer rather than a cop. A minor example appears in the first scene of the series, with the rookie that points out all the procedures Sergeant Foley violates at the scene of Harvey Wratten's murder.
