COPS follows police officers, constables, and sheriff's deputies during patrols and various police activities by embedding camera crews with their units. The show's formula adheres to a classic cinéma vérité ethos. With no narration or scripted dialog, it depends entirely on the commentary of the officers and on the actions of the people with whom they come into contact.
When Officers Jason Moss and David Honick of the Pittsburgh, PA, Bureau of Police assist in the pursuit of a repeat narcotics felon, they not only find the suspect's discarded stash, but also find that a K-9 unit was hungry for a capture. Also featured is FTO Mike Helms of the Brevard, FL, County Sheriff's Office, who acts as a human lie detector when a drunk driver entangles herself in a web of dishonesty.
