** Of course, Dexter is one of these, although he's a forensic examiner rather than a detective. He was also trained by his adoptive father, who was already a cop but couldn't bring himself to actually kill criminals who escaped justice. In season 2 Dexter is the subject of an ongoing investigation when the corpses of his victims are discovered, which he manages to avoid by making it look like another cop within the department had turned to serial killing.

* [[https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/SAPD-officer-Stephen-Smith-vigilante-spree-16393133.php Stephen Smith]], an officer with the San Antonio Police Department was linked to three murders (at least) with apparent [[VigilanteMan vigilante motives]] in the 1980s, being ultimately shot by his own partner Farrell Tucker, and was explicitly called a "killer cop" by officials. It appears he also tried to murder his own superiors after they disciplined him as a result of him committing (non-fatal) PoliceBrutality. The film ''Vigilante Cop'' in 1991 (also known as ''Shoot First: A Cop's Vengeance'') is based on the case.

** [[spoiler:Chief Yakou of the Nocturnal Detective Agency is revealed as the culprit of Chapter 4, of whom was ''also'' manipulated into doing so by Yomi, who leads the aforementioned Peacekeepers.]]

However, William Afton ended up not being charged and released due to the bodies never being found.
