====Animated====

;''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'':

In the acclaimed [[animated television series]], ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'', the GCPD characters are given more attention such as in "P.O.V", where the major characters of the force in the series participate in a detailed debriefing of an incident. One of the most important contributions from the animated series to the Batman universe is the introduction of [[Renee Montoya]] (first as a uniformed officer, then a detective), which would later become a first-grade character in the ''GCPD'' comic books. In the printed [[DC Universe]], her presence was so solidly incorporated that she later retired from the Department to assume the identity of [[Question (comics)|the Question]].

; ''Batman Beyond'':

In this animated series ''[[Batman Beyond]]'', James Gordon's daughter Barbara Gordon (former Batgirl in ''Batman: The Animated Series'') serves as the new commissioner.

===In films===

====''[[Batman (1989 film)|Batman]]'' (1989 film)====

 

====The Dark Knight Trilogy====

:* '''Detective Anna Ramirez''' (portrayed by [[Monique Curnen]]) - A corrupt police detective - although she only gave in to the mob's demands to pay her sick mother's hospital bills rather than out of more selfish motives - involved in the scarring of Harvey Dent and the death of Rachel Dawes by the Joker and the mob. She also appeared in ''[[Batman: Gotham Knight]]'', voiced by [[Ana Ortiz]]. The commentary on the ''[[Batman: Gotham Knight]]'' DVD, indicates she might be loosely inspired by Renee Montoya. She received a head injury from Dent after he cracked her head with the bottom of his revolver. Her fate is unknown, but it's implied from Gordon that she didn't survive her trauma, though she might not have regained consciousness yet.

:* '''Detective Mike Wuertz''' (portrayed by [[Ron Dean]]) - A corrupt police detective involved in the scarring of Harvey Dent and the death of Rachel Dawes by the Joker and the mob. He is later killed when Dent shoots him in the head with a revolver as one of his first actions as Two-Face.

 

=====''[[The Dark Knight Rises]]'' (2012 film)=====

:* '''Deputy Commissioner Peter Foley''' (portrayed by [[Matthew Modine]]) - Second-in-command and close friend to Gordon. Foley is shown as being quite ambitious and initially doesn't believe an injured Gordon's assertions about Bane raising an army underneath the streets of Gotham. He is eager to capture Batman, something he believes Gordon was never capable of, even when Bane is the more immediate and obvious target, to the point that he inadvertently lets Bane escape when Batman crashes the police pursuit following Bane's robbery of the stock exchange. He is one of the few officers who was not trapped underground after Bane triggered multiple explosions in the tunnels. Though initially aiding Gordon and other members of the resistance, Foley later refuses to take part in the final push against Bane's forces, fearing for his own safety after what Bane did to those special forces members. However, he relents and joins in the riot between the cops and [[Bane (comics)|Bane]]'s army. Foley manages to kill Bane's lieutenant, Barsad, with a submachine gun, but is then killed by automatic fire from Talia's escaping Tumbler.

:* '''Officer Tyler Ross''' (portrayed by [[Reggie Lee (actor)|Reggie Lee]]) - Blake's patrol partner who is trapped underground after the explosion in the sewers, and communicates with Blake during the revolution by passing notes through a sewer grate. He is shot dead by a League of Shadows mercenary when Blake is trying to pull him out of a sewer manhole cover.

:* '''Chief Angel Rojas''' (voiced by [[Edward James Olmos]] in the first appearance, [[Jesse Corti]] in later appearances) — The Chief of Police. For Chief Rojas, The Batman is nothing less than a black eye to his police force. Believing there is no room for vigilante justice in Gotham, Rojas has made capturing the Dark Knight a top priority.

:* '''Detective Ellen Yin''' (voiced by [[Ming-Na Wen]]) — Given her name and the events of the episode, "Artifacts", she could be a loose adaptation of Ellen Yindel from ''[[Batman: The Dark Knight Returns]]''. She was Batman's first ally in the Gotham City Police Department before James Gordon came into view.

 

====''[[Beware the Batman]]'' (2013 series)====

:** '''Sal Martinez''' (portrayed by Lucas Salvagno) – One of the several young police trainees to join Captain Nathaniel Barnes' strike force. He is later killed by Tabitha Galavan when he tried to arrest her during the fight between Oswald Cobblepot's gang and the Gotham City Police Department.

:* '''Vanessa Harper''' (portrayed by Kelcy Griffin) - A detective who transferred to the main precinct from the 3-5.
