supercop
Legendary law enforcer
A supercop is an exceptionally effective police officer, one who seems to transcend ordinary limits in fighting crime.
The term often carries a note of admiration or hype: The mayor called her a supercop after she broke up the trafficking ring.
It can also be used skeptically or ironically when someone's heroic reputation seems exaggerated.
