93 Best Police Team Name Ideas (Curated & Ranked) + Generator

Policing in the U.S. got its start through informal and privately-funded community watch programs dating as far back as the 1600s.[1]

The first full-time, organized police force emerged in Boston in the 1830s.[2]

In the nearly two centuries that have passed since that first department, policing has become a sophisticated field that utilizes automated detection systems, body cameras, and forensic technologies like DNA sequencing (among other high-tech tools) to prevent and solve cases.[3][4]

Though police work is often serious and challenging, your work team name doesn’t always need to be.

Below, we list more than 90 name ideas for police teams, ranging from work-appropriate to informal and funny. Scroll below the list for our tips on how to create your own team name, too!

How to Create a Great Police Team Name

When creating a police team name, you should first consider your team’s purpose: is it a department or unit within your workplace, an after-shift social club, or perhaps a police sports league team?

Decide whether you want to have fun with your name or keep it strictly professional.

If creating a team name for the workplace, consider your team’s purpose more deeply. You’ll likely want a name that relates to your team’s goal or beat — for example, a tech-related name if your team is dedicated to cyber cases.

If a funny name suits your team, it’s easy to get inspiration from day-to-day banter with your fellow officers and slang terms related to your job. “The Slammers” and “Boys in Blue” are common examples from our list, but you can come up with a very unique name based on inside jokes from your team.

You can also call on popular culture for inspiration. Police officers are often heroes in TV and film, but there are also plenty of buddy cop comedies and humorous characters you can use for inspiration — like the examples “Starsky and Hutch” or “Bad Boys” from our list.
