People, people. Have we forgotten the faux-southern sheriff in "Devil Fish?"
"I haven't decided whether to call it a murder or a suicide. I'll guess I'll go with murder, we haven't had one of them in a long time."

any cop who allowed joe don baker's characters to continue working after slaughtering numerous people, shooting up whatever backdrops, or breaking into something and shooting people up

Manos's definitely does it for me. They spend their time stalking the same couple for their part-voyeuristic, part-domination fetishes, whilst their investigation of gunshots end up shortly with giving up i order to stalk some more of that couple.

then of course, there was the sheriff from the blood waters of doctor z: this guy literally did nothing. no, wait - he remembered about the crazy guy with a vendetta and the plan to start the half-man, half-fish army midway through the investigation, after several deaths. other than that, all he did was sit around on his ass and call that infuriatingly placid african-american guy "boy," who should have cleaned his clock many times. Don't forget all the times he mentioned that he wasn't going anywhere near the police station because too many people were complaining about walking catfish.

You know I don't remember Alan Hale as the sheriff in Giant Spider Invasion doing anything really competent in that movie so I think he counts too. this, we saw him out of his office what, once in the whole movie?

Twice. Once when he was checking if Dan was 't home, and again when he unsuccessfully tried to keep the mob from rioting. Actually, it may be thrice. Was he with Barbra Hale and Doughy Guy when they were on the walkie talkies, talking to the guy in the helicopter?

Alan Hale first came to mind for Crawling Hand and GSI. I never realized he was such a bad actor until I saw him on MST. Was he that bad on Gilligan's Island or was the whole cast of GI that bad and he just blended in??

Casey Adams cop character from "Indestructible Man".
Always 3 steps behind the action, this guy.
Monty Python's "The Bishop" comes to mind whenever I watch this.
"We was too late."

Not incompetent, exactly, but it's a great "cop" scene in "Boggy Creek II" when the little creature jumps on the cop's back and Bill (as the creature) shouts, "Where's the money, you son of a bitch?"

I feel it must be said that Joe Don Baker's characters got their men and had a memorable theme song in both of their films. If that's not competence, I don't know what is. True, they are more unlikable than incompetant. I'll strike them from my list. The cops in Wild Rebels, the very fact that they thought Jeter and his bunch were smart says a bit about their intelligence. The hire some random guy to be the plant in the gang, and they left one road completely open in their "roadblock". The cop in Girl in Gold Boots who didn't notice that Buzz had joined Harry after Harry was sent out to throw out the garbage. I mean you're running a jail here. What was the guy thinking, "oh cool another inmate, good, the walls need painting"

To drift off-topic a bit, none of these cops made me laugh as much as those in a rifftraxed film, Plan 9 from Outer Space. The cop who tilts his hat, scratches his nose, and gestures to his cohorts with the point of his pistol--now that's funny.
