Law & Order: Special Victims Unit:
When Olivia asks a female cop named Kristin if she'd been having an affair with her (male) partner, Kristin looks Olivia up and down and replies,
Olivia herself is constantly subject to Les Yay speculation by fans (lesbian fans, anyway), usually with a relationship with Alex in mind and much pining for the shorter, butcher haircut and leather jacket of the early seasons. It was probably partly in response to this impression that the show made obvious attempts to make her more feminine as the series went on — longer hair, more makeup, nicer clothes, a more "motherly" attitude toward victims and more references to/depictions of her having a boyfriend.
She is also Mistaken for Gay by a lesbian activist who cites Liv's job and attitude as indicative of being a lesbian. She later plays up this trope while interrogating a homophobic suspect to get him to confess. At one point, Hilarity Ensues (and lampshades are hung) when Liv asks Elliott if he gets a gay vibe from her and he points out that she doesn't have much luck with guys.

Rookie Blue Season 4 has Gail Peck entering a relationship with a female pathologist Holly. Although she had previously been in relationships with men, Gail identifies as a lesbian from then on (and her actress Charlotte Sullivan has said that she got Ambiguously Gay vibes from her well before they went in this direction). She later hooked up with a detective with the Tomboyish Name Frankie.

Undertale's Undyne is the captain of the royal guard, making her the setting's closest thing to a cop. She is most definitely into ladies, both forming an Official Couple with nerdy scientist Alphys by the end of the game and referring to the waterfall dump as "a great place to pick up chicks."
In the Elseworld pseudo-sequel Deltarune, she's a straight-up cop.

Maggie Sawyer in Superman: The Animated Series has the same sexual orientation as her comicbook counterpart, according to Word of God, although the closest they could get to referencing Maggie being gay on-screen was to have her girlfriend be at her bedside when she was in hospital during the first Darkseid story. She goes unnamed note but is identified as Toby Raynes in the credits, and their relationship isn't elaborated on, but she's there. She's also present, comforting Maggie, after Dan Turpin dies.

Strong Medicine: Lu gets fed up with her bickering neighbors and storms upstairs to confront them, only to find one of them dead. It turns out that the two female roommates were actually girlfriends and both were police officers who'd kept their relationship secret, fearing ill treatment from their colleagues. Sure enough, the detectives are a couple of sexist homophobes who immediately arrest her partner note  To be fair, someone's partner usually is responsible, regardless of sexual orientation. and practically refuse to do any further investigation. It is of course up to Lu to find out that while the relationship was troubled, it wasn't abusive, and that the woman had actually killed herself because she feared it was over.

Third Watch raced ahead of this trope in its first episode. Boscorelli, masculine and Irish was accused of being gay as part of a prank. While driving around after who he thought was the prankster, he complained to his partner and asked what she'd think if people thought she was a lesbian.
