COPS Filming Locations

[x635 4,066]

Does anyone know where COPS is currently filming, or any website where to f? There website is useless, and I couldn't really google anything, except for they may be filming in Austin, TX.

I wonder if COPS has approached Yonkers or Mount Vernon PD's to film there? I'd love to see COPS ride with their ESU's, would make for a great episode.

Also, plenty of CT PD's with action around to film with- Stamford, Norwalk, Bridgeport, New Haven, etc.

The only NY departments I recall them riding with is an NYPD ESU supervisor (they caught a good pin job and an airbag job) and Buffalo PD.

I can see bosses being a little hesitant to allow cameras to film their department in action, but from what I understand the final cut of the episode is shown to the department brass for approval before airing.

And I wish they would return to Los Angeles.

If I remember correctly, I believe they filmed in Norwalk years ago. I am unsure if it ever aired or not. But they would get some good footage now, as they are very busy lately.

One of our members, JCESU, was in one of the Jersey City episodes that aired in Febuary of 2001. It was the one where the security guard was locked by perps inside a shipping container trailer. He's the really built guy whos arms are bigger than my torso and working with the female officer. He was patrol then but ESU now.

It reruns all the time on Court TV, G4, or one of the other networks that air COPS reruns.

In NJ, they've shot mostly with Jersey City and Passaic County Sherrifs. I'd love to see them shoot with Newark.

BTW, I'm reading this awesome, hard to find book called "The Jump Out Boys", all about being a COPS cameraman. Very interesting how they do things.

Court TV has a new show coming out this summer with City of Middletown(Orange County)Police & MCPD SWAT Team.

I may be remembering this wrong, but I head that a few years ago COPS did contact Stamford PD but the Chief at the time did not believe in any real media interaction and turned them down.
