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. 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). In 2013, the program moved from Fox to the cable network Spike, and continued starting 2018 on its rebrand Paramount Network. The program's last new episode on the Paramount Network aired on May 11, 2020. In June 2020, Paramount Network pulled the program from its schedule in response to George Floyd protests against the killing of George Floyd while in the custody of the Minneapolis, Minnesota Police Department, and announced its cancellation days later. The program remains in production for its international and overseas partners, and began to film anew in Spokane County, Washington with its sheriff's department at the start of October 2020. The program would return in 2021 to its current network location Fox Nation.
