Each episode runs about 30 minutes long and consists of three self-contained segments with no narration, music, and scripts.Ĭops was created by John Langley and Malcolm Barbour, who tried, unsuccessfully, for several years, to get a network to carry the program. The show's formula follows the cinéma vérité convention, which does not consist of any narration or scripted dialog, depending entirely on the commentary of the officers and on the actions of the people with whom they come into contact. In 2013, the program moved from Fox to the cable network Spike, now known as Paramount Network.Ĭops follows the activities of police officers by assigning television camera crews to accompany them as they perform their duties. It is one of the longest-running television programs in the United States and in May 2011 became the longest-running show on Fox with the announcement that America's Most Wanted was being canceled after 23 years (that show's host, John Walsh also appeared many times on Cops).
Src: Cops (stylized as COPS) is an American half-hour documentary/reality legal series that follows police officers, constables, sheriff's deputies, federal agents, and state troopers during patrols and other police activities including prostitution and narcotics stings.
