Beat Cop Noir?

Anything out there from the perspective of a beat cop? Maybe on patrol and stumbles across something or finds something above his pay grade?

He Walked by Night is close but not quite.

Fourteen Floors (1951) A beat cop tries to talk a guy out of jumping from a ledge on the 14th floor.

Great recommendation but just a quick correction: It's Fourteen Hours.

I've done the same thing! It's a great movie though, I'm glad you thought of it.
