The ride-along continues this Friday on Fox Nation as Cops returns with another unvarnished look at street-level law enforcement. The new episode, titled Packin’ Heat, drops at 6:00 PM ET and follows officers in California as they handle a series of unpredictable and volatile situations.
In San Bernardino, officers confront a suspect who announces he’s carrying a concealed weapon, immediately escalating the tension of the stop. Meanwhile, a deputy in Riverside County has to deal with a man on a bicycle who’s trying to pedal his way out of an arrest after his warrants come to light. The episode also checks in with Stockton Police, who are called to a domestic dispute with a peculiar twist: a man has thrown his keys on the roof to keep his girlfriend from leaving.
Now in its 37th season, Cops still sticks to its cinéma vérité roots—no narration, no scripts, just raw footage of police on the job. The show’s longevity comes from this unfiltered approach, where the drama is supplied entirely by the officers and the people they meet on their patrols.
Catch the action when “Cops” returns Friday, June 20 at 6:00 PM ET on Fox Nation.
