Gold Coast Cops is an Australian factual television series on Network Ten. It follows the work of Queensland Police Service officers from the newly created Rapid Action & Patrols Group (RAP) on the Gold Coast in Queensland.[1] The series was renewed for a second season in November 2014,[2] returning 17 March 2015.[3] The second season experienced a 3-month mid-season hiatus due to the seventh season of MasterChef Australia, however, returned on 2 August 2015 in the new timeslot of 7pm Sundays.[4][5]
In September 2015 media reports emerged that Senior Constable Aaron Minns, who appeared in the program, was suspended from his position and charged with four counts of allegedly assaulting restrained prisoners.[6] On Wednesday 4 May 2016, Minns was found not guilty on all charges, after a trial in the Brisbane Magistrates Court.[7]
In November 2015, it was announced the series would not return.[8]
In November 2020, rights to the series transferred to Nine Network and will begin airing reruns from 16 November 2020.[9]
