* Tony Hillerman's mysteries set on the [[The Rez|Navajo reservation]] feature Joe Leaphorn (older, world-weary, atheistic) and Jim Chee (younger, more idealistic, a practicing shaman).
* Occurs in ''[[Rivers of London]]'' with DCI Nightingale (since he is over 100 years old) being the old, refined, gentleman cop, and DC Grant as the wet behind the ears, yet inexplicably smart, sarky, and mouthy new cop.
* World-weary veteran DI [[Rebus]] spends most of the series partnered with the younger DC (later DS) Siobhan Clarke.
* Sam Vimes and Carrot in ''[[Discworld/Guards! Guards!|Guards Guards]]''. Also, Sam Vimes and, er, [[I Hate Past Me|Sam Vimes]] in ''[[Discworld/Night Watch|Night Watch]]''.

** Played straight since season two of ''[[Law and Order Special Victims Unit|Law & Order: SVU]]'' with Munch and Fin—Though one could argue they're both seasoned veterans, Munch is noticeably older, and has probably been on the force longer.
