Any google phone, you can use you "wrong" thumb two or three times (fast), then you are required to enter pin. Easy, quick way to lock you phone more securely if you encounter police.

    And Samsung devices have a "Lockdown Mode" that can be triggered by holding down the power button which does the exact same thing (also disabling lockscreen notifications if they were on until you enter your pin)

    You can also just hold the power button to bring up the power menu which includes a Lockdown button. This disables biometrics and will require a PIN to unlock.

    This should work on any Android device, but definitely works on my Pixel. The shortcut might be different for different devices, though.
