Police

Police in science fiction stories
In the album Bonne Année, where the setting is a future police state, the police ultimately let our youthful protagonists go in an act of generosity. The hero of the album Kraken is police Lt. Dante, who patrols what is both literally and figuratively the underworld of the city of Metropol. "Sanitation Police" are one of the forces operating in the post-catastrophe world of Pepe Moreno's Rebel, though law and order don't seem to be present to be enforced.

Police in detective and urban stories
In the album The Go-Between, Kelly Green is the widow of a police officer and solves his murder by getting involved with his former partner and superiors. In the album Joe's Bar, Pepe the undocumented alien lives in constant fear of the police.

Police in colonial and neo-colonial adventure stories
During World War I, Hugo Pratt's Corto Maltese runs into the "Leopard-Men of the Rufiji" in the album Corto Maltese in Africa and learns that the mysterious organization is actually a secret pan-African police force. In the album Indiana Jones et la Cité de al Foudre, there is a colonial policeman named Blake, who turns out to be a villain. In the album L'Otage, which takes place in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean and is part of the spy/adventure series Condor, the police are mentioned twice. The first time we are told about police making people disappear because they are too political. The second time the police are not really police, but right-wing thugs impersonating police, and they try to make Condor disappear because he has ransom money destined for the rebels. The South Seas French-colonial police in Allaïve : un Môme de Perdu are good guys, working hard to solve a mystery that involves a criminal European. In the comedic Jack Palmer album L'Enquête Corse, Mr. Palmer is kidnapped by armed liberationists who are soon in a faction fight about who gets to keep the prisoner. The police arrive, arrest the prisoner, and are soon in an inter-agency struggle that mirrors that of the militants.

   SUMMARY: Carlos, Ricardo and Ernesto eat in a Chinese
   restaurant. Memín goes home to get some maracas, figuring
   that no cabaret will let them in because they are so young.
   Memín plans to pretend they are musicians. The white boys
   sing, however badly, and Memín holds it together with his
   natural rhythm. Meanwhile, Carlos's mother Isabel
   ("Chabela") is in a tough underworld cabaret talking about
   how she hates her life and how her husband abandoned her
   when he got rich, though Carlos doesn't know this.
   Eventually the four friends arrive at the same
   establishment and find Chabela fighting off a drunk
   customer. The man hits her and Carlos wades in, knocking
   him down. The man pulls a gun and tries to shoot Carlos,
   but Isabel gets between them and is shot. Carlos throws a
   bottle and apparently kills the man. Isabel is not badly
   hurt and tells her son to run before the police get there.
