Most police show I know (CSI, The X Files, Law and Order...) focus on law enforcers cracking criminal cases, and this is getting repetitive to me. I want something different. I'm looking for a cop show that depicts what being a cop looks like, how cops with different ranks work, the relationship of people in a police department... instead of police detectives solving a murder and calling it a day.
I'm looking for a decent cop show that focus on a cop's life, a show that treats cops as a human being and not some crime-solving machines that catch criminals in every episode using mind-bending deductions and technology.
Is there any cop show like that?

Have you checked Dexter? It is about a serial killer who kills other murderers. He works at a police station and you see his life

Reno 911!
It's an absurdist comedy and it's exactly what you're looking for.

Broadchurch and The Killing both get pretty personal into the cop's lives. They are still shows about crimes, but each season focuses on a single crime and is very much about the people involved. Both shows are excellent.

Cagney And Lacey. Frequently focused on the home life of the protagonists. Lacey was married with children. Cagney dated, and had a father.
