More of a criminal song.. how about Johnny Cash and Folsom Prison?

Not really a cop song, but the Authority Song by John Cougar Mellencamp

For the lady cops who like to dance.. lol.. howabout Mrs. Officer by Lil Wayne?

Lonesome Dove by Garth Brooks tells the story of a Texas lawman.

Thanks Cheese!

Good suggestions! I am going to have to try to keep these as positive as possible (I don't want to bite the hand that feeds ----- or the long arm as it may be)

My personal fave, politically incorrect as all get out but cracks me up. My apologies to anyone who is offended, but for me this is hilarious... I'm sure it will never be done on karaoke...
