"C.O.P.S. - Central Organization of Police Specialists. Fighting crime in a future time,... protecting Empire City from Big Boss, and his gang of crooks. C.O.P.S.!"
"It's crime fighting time!"
The year: 2020 in the near future. The place: Empire City, a megalopolis (while Kansas and Oklahoma have an Empire City, the one in the series is a coastal city). The situation: Brandon ?Big Boss? Babel, along with his Crooks, are holding the entire city under the palm of his iron hand and the Empire City Police Department can do nothing to stop him. As a last resort, Mayor Davis sends in Special Agent Baldwin P. Vess (Codename: Bulletproof) to take him down. However, Bulletproof suffered very serious injuries at the hands of Big Boss? criminal henchmen and had to be taken to the hospital, where he is given a cybernetic bullet-resistant torso to save his life.
While staying at the hospital, Bulletproof, knowing he cannot do all of this alone, sends out Police Officer P.J. O?Malley (Codename: LongArm) and rookie Officer Donny Brooks (Codename: HardTop) to round up the best law enforcers from all over the country. With these men and women ? including Highway, Mace, Barricade, Mainframe, Sundown, Mirage, Bullseye, and Bowser and 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.
Each episode has a title that begins with ?The Case of?? with a different phrase being added to it (i.e. ?The Case of the Iron C.O.P.S. and Wooden CROOKS?; ?The Case of the Half-Pint Hero?; and ?The Case of the Crime Nobody Heard?) along with the C.O.P.S. file number. Bulletproof would narrate at the beginning of the episode as well as the end, concluding by repeating the C.O.P.S. file number and title, ending it with ?Case Closed? with an ?Closed? mark being stamped onto the file folder. The two exceptions are the first parts each of the two-parter episodes, ?The Case of Big Boss? Master Plan? and ?The Case of C.O.P.S. File #1,? where the conclusion of the episode is marked with a ?Case Continued? plastered on the files
