Here's my favorite stylish TV cops.

Ron Glass as Det. Sgt. Ron Harris on Barney Miller

The rest of the cast of the NYPD 12th Precinct in the post-Jack Soo era.

Jimmy Smits as the late Det. Bobby Simone on NYPD Blue.

Jason Lee as Det. Dwight Hendricks of the late great TNT series Memphis Beat.

Fred Dryer as Hunter of the LAPD!

The late Jerry Orbach as Det. Lenny Briscoe on L&O.

Ted Levine as Captain Leland Stottlemeyer on the long gone USA series Monk.

Don Johnson as Crockett and Philip Michael Thomas as Tubbs on the 1980s NBC drama Miami Vice.

Dennis Franz as Det. Andy Sipowicz on NYPD Blue.

Last but not least:

The late Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday on Dragnet.

Who's your favorite stylish TV cop?

Which has zero to do with how stylish the character he is playing is - you do realise that the entire character of Sipowicz relies in part on him being completely unstylish. He's a complicated mess, a fucked-up alcoholic with a temper who does things old school. But with a heart of gold.

You've just posted a list of characters you like. I don't disagree that they are great characters. As to whether they have style, that's an entirely different question... And TV cops in general don't have a lot of it.
