It is a television program that is always entertaining and dramatic but never boring. Cops is a long running documentary style television series that follows the activities of law enforcement personnel from marshals, constables, sheriffs, and beat cops as they go about their daily duties. Their job is making the world a better place for the rest of us by cleaning up criminals and making our streets safer. A typical episode of Cops is a half hour broken up into three segments which can be thought provoking or filled with action. We see the "seedy" side of life and those who find out that crime does not pay when they head off to jail. There is no narrator and no music to entertain, just the cold hard facts of life on the streets of big cities everywhere. Episodes have been shot in many foreign countries and they all have the good versus evil theme no matter where they are. Each episode begins with the "Bad Boys" theme and ends with a police voice stating "I've got them at gunpoint!" It is reality programming at its best.
