'COPS' returns to Spokane County
After a four year hiatus, the reality television show “Cops” is returning to Spokane County.
If you had a TV anytime in the last few decades, you know the show: shaky cameras following police busting drug deals, stopping thefts, chasing down the “bad boys”.
Paramount canceled Cops in 2020, amid the George Floyd protests.
But it didn’t take long for the show to return. ‘Cops’ began airing again in 2021 as part of Fox Nation -- Fox’s streaming service.
Now, after four years away from the limelight, Spokane County Sheriff John Nowels says now is the time to start filming again.
Guests:
-
Nick Gibson - county reporter for the Spokesman Review
-
Sean Campbell - independent investigative journalist and contributing reporter with the Garrison Project. An independent, nonpartisan organization addressing the crisis of mass incarceration and policing
