The new Fox series “Gang Related” (premiering Thursday at 9 p.m.) focuses on Det. Ryan Lopez (Ramon Rodriguez), a rising star in the Los Angeles Police Department’s elite Gang Task Force. Here are five other notable TV members of the LAPD:

v Sgt. Joe Friday (“Dragnet,” 1955-59; 1967-70): Jack Webb’s by-the-book, no-nonsense cop sought “just the facts.”

v Sgt. Pepper Anderson (“Police Woman,” 1974-78): Angie Dickinson was the sexy undercover cop working for the vice squad.

v Det. Sgt. Rick Hunter (“Hunter,” 1984-91): Ex-NFLer Fred Dryer played network TV’s version of Clint Eastwood’s “Dirty Harry.”

v Det. Vic Mackey (“The Shield,” 2002-08): Michael Chiklis’ ruthless cop pretty much broke every rule and almost got away with it.

v Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson (“The Closer,” 2005-12): Kyra Sedgwick’s Atlanta-raised character had a knack for getting confessions out of suspects.

REALITY COMPETITION FINALES: All hail the victors! The broadcast TV season is winding down and you know what that means: It’s time to hand out prizes on several reality shows. Tonight, the parade of champions includes “Dancing With the Stars” (9 p.m., ABC) and “The Voice” (9 p.m., NBC) closing things out on a high note.

“AMC Presents: AN ALL-STAR SALUTE TO THE TROOPS” (9 P.M., CBS): Active-duty members of the military perform with country music stars in this special. Participants include Merle Haggard, George Strait, Carrie Underwood, Toby Keith, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert.
