Tokyo Metropolitan Police
Inspector Joseph Megure
Inspector Joseph Megure known in Japan as Inspector Juzo Megure (目暮十三警部 Megure Jūzō-keibu) is a veteran police officer who has been working with Jimmy Kudo, Booker Kudo and Richard Moore. In fact, Richard used to work under him 10 years ago. He always wears his hat to hide an old scar which reminds him of a special case from 20 years ago, during his early police days which involved his then-future wife Midori. That time he was still a new police officer in charge of protecting a Midori who planned to lure out a culprit who uses his car to run over high school girls with long skirts. Megure saved the girl's life, at the cost of a scar on his head.[1] [2] His seiyū is Chafurin and English voice actor is Mark Stoddard.
Miwako Sato
Miwako Sato (佐藤 美和子 Satō Miwako) is a young female officer who works with Meguire. Her father was also a police officer who was killed on duty when she was only six years old. Her former partner Matsuda was killed in an explosion. She made her debut as a cameo appearance in Volume 19 of the manga or Episode 130 and was properly introduced in Volume 21 or Episode 146. Her seiyū is Atsuko Yuya.
Tough, energetic, and a dedicated police officer that her "dates" tend to turn into police investigations, but she also can be quite lively and cheerful. Sato is hugely popular with the male members of the police department, but to their chagrin she, albeit hesitantly, begins to develop feelings for her colleague Takagi. A running joke in the series is that their relationship never progresses because of interruptions by the rest of the police force. However, in chapter 673, she kissed Takagi when he was hospitalized, after Conan and the Detective Boys warded off Megure and some others who were about to enter. She has come to value Conan's aid in several tough cases and trusts his judgment implicitly. She can tell he is no ordinary boy, and accepts him as a member of the police.
Harry Wilder
Harry Wilder, known in Japan as Wataru Takagi (高木 渉 Takagi Wataru) is an officer who works with Meguire and has a crush on Sato which is somewhat awkwardly requited. He first appeared in the anime in episode 21/22(Lights... Camera... Murder), and made his first manga appearance in Volume 18 Chapter 171 - It Must be Similar. His last name, Takagi, is used as the first name in the English Manga. He was named after his seiyū Wataru Takagi. His English voice actor is Doug Burks.
Takagi has an appearance of ineffectual nervousness, but he's not as useless as he seems. He is quick to assess a situation and take immediate and decisive action when necessary are points in his favor. He also appeared to know (or at least suspect) about Conan/Jimmy's secret identity and problem; this is seen when he makes close observation to Conan in some investigation and in the end of Volume 36 or Episode 304 when Conan wants to defuse the time bomb. Like Sato, he sees that Conan is extraordinary. When Conan and Takagi have a talk about the time bomb, he asks Conan "Who are you?" Conan says that he'll tell him, but only in the afterlife.
Officer Isshin Chiba
Officer Isshin Chiba (千葉一伸 Isshin Chiba) is Takagi's partner who likes to eat a lot. He's nice and very encouraging towards his friend. He made his debut in the fourth Detective Conan movie, then as a cameo appearance in Volume 29 of the manga and was properly introduced in Volume 32. Later in the series it's revealed he is a fan of the children's show Kamen Yaiba.
Ninzaburo Santos
Ninzaburo Santos, known in Japan as Ninzaburo Shiratori (白鳥 任三郎 Shiratori Ninzaburō) is another officer who works with Meguire and likes Sato; however, she does not feel the same about him. He made his first appearance in the first Detective Conan movie and his manga appearance was in Volume 21, along with Officer Sato. Later in the series he makes overt advances towards Miwako, relying heavily on his status as the scion of a wealthy family (and doing his best to make the shy and awkward Takagi feel inferior in the process). His seiyū was Kaneto Shiozawa and is now Kazuhiko Inoue. His English voice actor is Eric Vale.
Kiyonaga McLaughlin
Kiyonaga Mclaughlin known in Japan as Kiyonaga Matsumoto (松本 清長 Matsumoto Kiyonaga) is the superior officer of Joseph Meguire and his underlings. His brutish appearance and the scar running down his left eye easily hide the fact that he is a caring, if somewhat stern, father figure. He is widowed and has a single daughter, Sayuri Matsumoto / Catherine McLaughlin, who used to be Jimmy's, Rachel's, and Serena's music teacher in middle school. He received the scar on his face during a confrontation with a serial killer 20 years prior to the series. His seiyū is Seizo Katou and his English voice actor is Bob Carter.
Jinpei Matsuda
Jinpei Matsuda (松田 陣平 Matsuda Jinpei) is Miwako's parter who died while trying to stop a bomb from exploding. He chose to stay inside a Ferris wheel ride with a bomb because a message came that another bomb's location would be displayed on the casing three seconds before the explosion. He originally meant to redeem his partner Hagiwara, who died four years before in a related incident, but was unable to succeed. Miwako was partnered with him for less than a week, but his intense personality and subsequent death left a huge and lasting impact on her for years to come. Judging from her reactions to him shortly before he died, it is believed Sato was starting to fall in love with him. She has now carried the love on to Detective Wilder, though she does not admit it. His character design is based on that of the famous Japanese actor Yusaku Matsuda. His seiyū is Canna Nobutoshi.
Yumi Miyamoto
Yumi Miyamoto (宮本 由美 Miyamoto Yumi) is a traffic officer and Inspector Sato's best friend. She is a gossip who knows about Takagi's crush on Sato and, while often teasing the two about their relationship, she tries her best to help them get underway.

Inspector Jugo
Inspector Jugo (横溝 重悟 Yokomizo Jugo), He is the twin brother of Detectiving Yokomizo Worthington works at the Kanagawa Prefecture police department.

His seiyū is Akio Ohtsuka, the same for Worthington.
Misao Yamamura
Misao Yamamura (山村 ミサオ Yamamura Misao) is a young police officer from the Gunma Prefecture. Thanks to watching too much TV, he is very enthusiastic about his work but is totally naive, bumbling and child-headed, and thus totally unsuited for the job. The first reaction of Conan and all who know him whenever they happen to encounter him is exasperation, but once set on the right track he is very supportive. His grandmother, Nonna Yamamura (山村 ばあちゃん Yamamura Nonna), made an appearance in manga volume 52. His seiyū is Toshio Furukawa.
Kansuke Yamato
Inspector Kansuke Yamato (大和 敢助 Yamato Kansuke) is a Police officer from Nagano Prefecture with a prominent pair of criss-crossed scars over his blinded left eye. He walks with a crutch on his left arm. His first appearance in manga volume 59. In the same case, it was revealed he sustained those injuries during his disappearance for six months previously, while pursuing some criminals. His name seemed to have been inspired by Yamamoto Kansuke (山本 勘助), a brilliant strategist and advisor of Takeda Shingen (武田信玄), a background character in the case. Yamamoto Kansuke was also disabled in one eye and one leg. Kansuke is also a childhood friend of Yui Euhara (上原 由衣 Uehara Yui), as well as her superior in the Nagano police. They were very close, but when he was presumed dead during his disappearance, she resigned and took it upon herself to marry into the Torada (虎田) family to investigate the death of another well-loved colleague.
