I'm breaking silence to vote on your top 100 because, as a
police officer (everything from a small-town police chief to
a federal officer), I think cop characters are getting
shorted on the list, so I'm voting exclusively for
cops.
Bumper Morgan (Wambaugh) Charles Carr (Petievitch) Charlie
Resnick (Harvey) Coffin Ed & Gravedigger (Himes) Dave
Robicheaux (Burke) Deputy Carl Houseman (Harstad) Dick Tracy
(Gould) Frank Clemons (Cook) (though he finks out and becomes
a private eye in later books) George Gideon (Marric) Harry
Bosch (Connelly) Joe Friday (Webb and others) John Rebus
(Rankin) Kramer & Zondi (McClure) Lucas Davenport
(Sandford) Mario Balzic (Constantine) Mitch Taylor (Treat)
Nate Heller (Collins)(He's a cop in the beginning of True
Detective and through half of Stolen Away) Reid Bennett
(Wood) Steve Carella (McBain) Will Graham (Harris)
