A Police Officer (Japanese: おまわりさん Police Officer), known as an Officer in Generation II and a Policeman in Generations IV and V, is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation II games.

In Generations II and IV, they are police officers, with flashlights and baton, that only battle at night. It could be said that their counterpart is the Joggers, who can only be battled in the morning. They specialize in using Growlithe in Generation II and its remakes, a possible reference to the animated series's Officer Jenny. In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, they use a combination of the Hoothoot and Machop families.

In Generations V, VII, and VIII, they continue to use Pokémon with canine traits, including the aforementioned Growlithe, as a possible allusion to police dogs. In the Battle Subway, they specialize in defensive Pokémon sets primarily relying on status conditions, and in the early stages, Fighting- and Steel-type Pokémon. In the Battle Tower in Galar, Police Officers specialize in a mix of Fighting-, Steel-, and Dragon-type Pokémon.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, they keep their Pokémon in Ultra Balls.

Although they aren't Trainers, they also appear as guards to Saffron City and try to arrest a Team Rocket Grunt in Cerulean City in Pokémon Red and Blue (replaced by Officer Jenny in Pokémon Yellow and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!), and their remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. Another NPC by the name of Officer Johnson plays a minor role in guarding the Cipher members that Duking arrested in Pokémon Colosseum.
