"Fighting crime in a future time, protecting Empire City from Big Boss and his gang of crooks."
In the cartoon, the C.O.P.S. frequently shouted, “It's Crime Fighting Time!” as a battle cry, the CROOKS would shout “Crime's a-wasting!” whenever they went to do another caper.
Enter a future time where crime is rampant. A national cartel headed by the ever elusive Big Boss is responsible for much of the activity. He has enlisted some of the nations most notorious criminals to do his bidding. They are known to be involved in armed robbery, interstate transportation of stolen goods, extortion, racketeering, counterfeiting schemes, and loan sharking amongst other offenses. The Police were unable to stop the ever increasing crime wave. Thus, C.O.P.S. (Central Organization of Police Specialists) was formed. They work to put the Big Boss and his minions behind bars for good.
In 2020, Brandon “Big Boss” Babel and his gang is holding the entire city under the palm of his iron hand and the Empire City Police Department can do nothing to stop him. Special Agent Baldwin P. Vess (Codename: Bulletproof) is sent in, except Bulletproof suffers very serious injuries in a car wreck during a fight with Big Boss' criminal henchmen and had to be taken to the hospital, where he is given a cybernetic bullet-resistant torso. In the hospital, Bulletproof rounds up the best law enforcers from all over the country. With these men and women — including David E. "Highway" Harlson, Colt "Mace" Howards, Stan "Barricade" Hyde, Tina "Mainframe" Cassidy, Walker "Sundown" Calhoun, Suzie "Mirage" Young, Hugh S. "Bullseye" Forward, and Rex "Bowser" Pointer and his robot dog, Blitz — he forms a team that is “the finest law enforcement agency there is in the country.” Bulletproof becomes the proud founder and commander of C.O.P.S. Together, he and his C.O.P.S. team are able to take down Big Boss and his gang of crooks and thwart the first of many of Big Boss' criminal schemes.
