To Serve and Protect

To Serve and Protect

"To Serve and Protect" is a Canadian documentary television series which airs on A-Channel, SUN TV, and Mystery TV. It is very similar to the American series "COPS".

The show documents the day-to-day events of police officers in Canadian cities such as Vancouver, Edmonton and Winnipeg as well as several RCMP detachments in British Columbia. In addition there are some episodes featuring trips to Las Vegas, Hong Kong, and Memphis, Tennessee. The program began in 1993 on KVOS, an American station that primarily targets the Vancouver market, and is still running today.

The show originally began in Vancouver, but was taken off the air for several years, focussing on other police departments. In 2005, the show returned to the VPD, and many new episodes from Vancouver and Edmonton are currently airing.
