Oscar "Rick" Requer is a former detective of the Baltimore Police Department.

Requer joined the department in 1964 as a Western District patrolman who would eventually move into the department's Homicide Unit.[1] He was featured working under Sergeant Jay Landsman and Lieutenant Gary D'Addario whose Homicide unit was featured in David Simon's Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets book.[2] An African American, Requer's investigative skills earned him a position in the BPD's Criminal Investigation Division during a time period in which African American officers were still subject to racial harassment in the district roll call rooms.[3] Requer would later man the retirement services bureau before retiring in 2007[4] and would provide inspiration for fictional Detective Bunk Moreland of the HBO drama series The Wire.[1]

A character named "Oscar Requer" appeared in the "Transitions" episode on the fifth season of The Wire. The fictional Oscar Requer (played by Roscoe Orman), was a patrolman working a night shift and a former partner of detective Lester Freamon's.
