So you think you’ve got the brains to solve a crime, the guts to track down the bad guys, and the brawn to bring them in? You think you’re detective material? Well, we’ll see if you’ve got what it takes to solve crimes and keep the streets safe.
We’re going to put you through an intensive series of questions: what would you do when faced with a crime? How do you interrogate victims and suspects? What happens when you get emotionally involved in a case? With your answer, we’ll be able to find out just what kind of a cop you would be.
No cop persona would be complete without knowing the person who made it famous, so we won’t just tell you what kind of cop you are, we’ll tell you who exemplifies that persona, from Columbo to Olivia Benson and everyone in between. Are you ready to solve some crimes?

I’m good cop: I want to make them feel heard and cared for
Somewhere in the middle. I’m not mean, but I’m pretty wry.

Intimidating. Like…with violence intimidating.
I just want to sit down and be honest with them, even if that means I have to say some hard truths.
Catch them off guard with some jokes then POW hit em with the evidence.
I usually have to hold back some anger.

Psych, I never go anywhere without telling people where I am.
I rip through my bonds, steal their gun, and fight my way out.
I’ve survived worse. They won’t break me.
There’s no way I would have let that happen. I’m too suspicious.
I manage to keep them confused and talking until someone can find me.
