I like “The Rookie”.

But all these cops obsessing over the letter of the law, keeping each other in line, caring about perp’s life choices and victim’s problems…

This is fantasy. Might as well be Lord of the Rings.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
