C.O.P.S. (Central Organization of Police Specialists) is a 1988 animated television series released by DIC Animation City, and distributed by Claster Television. The series focuses on a team of highly trained police officers tasked with protecting the fictional Empire City from a group of gangsters led by the "Big Boss".[3] The tag lines for the series are "Fighting crime in a future time" and "It's crime fightin' time!"[4] In 1993, the series was shown in reruns on CBS Saturday mornings under the new name CyberCOPS, due to the 1989 debut of the unrelated primetime reality show of the same name.[5] The show was based on Hasbro's 1988 line of action figures called C.O.P.S. 'n' Crooks,[6] which were designed by Bart Sears.[7]
