Since 1989, COPS has provided American families with some real drama on Saturday nights. It happens to be a reality show that is more “real” than most. But that doesn’t mean that things didn’t go awry or that the behind-the-scenes facts are any less interesting. It’s the opposite, actually; the craziness we see on our screens is exactly what goes on in front of the camera.

In the 30 years since it premiered, COPS has barely skipped a beat. When Fox canceled the show in 2013, Spike picked it up. Then, in 2018, Spike became the Paramount Network, which kept airing new episodes every Saturday. So, if you (like us) just can’t get enough of those foot chases, domestic incidents, and the overall insanity of the day-to-day law enforcement drama, then stick around. You won’t regret it.
