{{Examples|Fictional Versions and Parodies:}}
== Comic Books ==
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' had a version following Springfield PD, changing the theme tune to "Bad cops, bad cops..."
* ''[[Transmetropolitan]]'' gives us ''CPD Live''. "Today, another deadly, spine-tingling mission for the girls and boys in [[The Future Is Noir|black]], the City Police Department!"
* One episode of ''[[The X-Files]]'', "X-Cops", was [[Documentary Episode|filmed this way]] - the policemen the camera crew were following became involved in Mulder and Scully's latest case.
 
* ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bocmVZXXY8w TROOPS]'': a camera crew follows a group of [[Star Wars|Imperial Stormtroopers]] as they keep the peace in an insignificant corner of the Dune Sea on Tatooine, dealing with Jawas, bounty hunters, or a couple whose boy has run off with that crazy hermit.
== Film ==
* ''[[Shrek]] 2'' had something like this when the fairy tale characters are watching the magic mirror TV showing Shrek, Donkey, and Puss In Boots being arrested by knights during a pursuit. "You are watching ''Knights''".
* ''[[Saints Row]] 2'' has the FUZZ missions, where you dress up like an officer and go [[Police Brutality|assault people with blunt objects]].
** Noted in that it's a very obvious parody of the show and you are given the missions by an opportunistic TV producer.
* ''[[My Name Is Earl]]'' had two episodes of ''COPS'' based in their town.
* ''[[Reno 911!]]'' is a parody of this series.
* ''[[CSA: Confederate States of America]]'' had [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMSKAZObGxQ a fake commercial for "Runaway"], a parody of this show based around finding runaway slaves.
