Central Organization of Police Specialists

C.O.P.S 'n Crooks was a line of action figures produced by Hasbro and sold between 1988 and 1989. The figures were police and criminals of the future.

Each toy had a file card printed on the back of its packaging that contained a biography of the character. These file cards were written by Larry Hama who also wrote the file cards for Hasbro's line of G. I. Joes.

To help with the promotion of the toys DC Comics put out a series of 15 comics written by Doug Moench. A cartoon was also released by DiC Entertainment. The cartoon used the tag line: "Fighting crime in a future time, protecting Empire City from Big Boss, and his gang of crooks." The Cops frequently shouted, "It’s Crime Fighting Time!" throughout the episodes.

The animated series was rerun during the early 90's and renamed CyberCOPs in order to avoid confusion with the reality prime time show COPS which was then gaining popularity.
