What is your favorite police chase episode of COPS?


My all time favorite police chase is the episode from Cleveland (Season 6, Episode 28) where the police were pursuing 3 carjacking suspects in a red compact car, the vehicle they were pursuing ends up crashing into a guardrail, one of the suspects had his head on the dashboard.

I think the one season 14 episode in Fort Worth that started and stopped and started up again was one of the craziest ones I ever saw. The season 15 one with the two black men in North Las Vegas who drove off after being sprayed, and the one that ended in Norwood, Ohio from season 17 that ended at a school, and the season 16 with the Teenagers/young adults in Passic County in broad daylight are my honorable mentions.

On the Season 16 Passaic County episode were they driving a Honda Civic? I remember Officer Daimano was totally berating them in that episode, I also remember the other three episodes, I'll never forget the first time I saw the Season 17 Norwood episode where a guy drives off after getting tased, I was in total disbelief that he was able to drive off afterwards, I also remember the Season 15 episode where a black male drives off after getting sprayed, that was a crazy episode, on the Fort Worth Season 14 episode I remember the chase where the driver stopped and started again, that was one episode I rarely saw on TV, I remember the officer was really pissed off in that episode and I couldn't blame him.

Another of one of my favorite police chases is from Season 20 Pomona where the officers were chasing a parolee at large and he crashes into a taxi, I remember going "WTF" the night the episode premiered.

The Passaic County episode did indeed have a Honda Civic.


That car/taxi collision was probably one of the better segments of Season 20.

Season 20 was a decent season, definitely better than Seasons 21-23, I remember being shocked by the stolen van crashing into a taxi, sadly Officer Shaun Diamond was later killed in October of 2014.

I really liked the Passaic County episode with the Honda Civic fleeing from the police, their car sure has agile handling in order to take the corners the way they did.

The one where the car tire is blown out and it makes sparks for miles down the highway while being chased. Still remember watching it on FOX the first time it aired.

I remember the car chase episode where a car tire was blown out and it was blowing sparks for miles down the highway, I remember that being one of the most intense police chases I've ever seen, that episode is from Kansas City (Season 7) but has appeared on numerous Best Of episodes.

I don’t know the season but they filmed one episode where I live in Kansas City that involved an officer getting shot as he attempted to stop a suspect in an armed carjacking. Police swarmed the scene and caught the guy really fast. It was a great segment.

reply

That was such an intense episode with the suspect firing rounds at a police officer, I really enjoyed seeing the dog attack the suspect along with the officers being rough on him, he was definitely someone who deserves to spend decades in prison, also wasn't the vehicle he was driving stolen, that was definitely one of the best episodes of Season 20 (which IMO was not one of the best seasons for COPS)

He was in the stolen car. Here's the video.https://youtu.be/rJThnnZFoSs

That was a good police chase, that car sure was maneuverable to get around the tight turns, I'll never forget the moment when Officer Daimano totally berated the suspects for what they did.

reply

there was a chase in Fort Worth with a white van that's really my favorite

reply

Another car chase episode I really liked was the one from Little Rock (Season 6) where they were chasing a Chevy Caprice Classic that later becomes damaged in the right rear and that sparks were flying everywhere.
