Peirce County on COPS It seems that almost every COPS episode has a segment on Peirce County. 90% of the segments involve stolen cars, and 100% involve Meth.
Do the producers of the show have a studio in this county or are maybe from this area? Just wondering because it seems odd that this area would be on the show so often.

COPS only films with Departments that request to be on the show. Pierce County obviously wants some media attention so they invite them out to film. Are these old episodes or new ones? I know they were up in Pierce County years ago but don't know if they have been recently.

Dang it, I was going to watch it too and watched "Unique Whips" instead 
That's funny that they would ask to be on the show, because it makes their city look really bad (crime ridden) which Tacoma is anyway..
but you would think to make people come there, they would try to make their city look safe... JMO...

Every day on Court TV they show COPS like 3 times a day. Peirce county is on every day. The episodes are recent as best I can tell, no more than 2 years old..some look a lot more recent.

It's a new show on Speed Channel where they take high priced cars and add stuff to them to make them 'cool'..tonight they were putting Speakers and stuff into the trunk of a new Vette and hand painted the Nitrous bottle that sits between the speakers. It turned out really cool. Then they worked on some Ny baseball players new truck...added dvd players, speakers in the back, new seat covers, an ipod player thing and of course big Chrome rims!

) and the amount of footage they have to take just to get a 30 minute show, it is not surprising that in syndication there are tons and tons of shows. The "busier" an area is, the longer/more footage the show will get. I couldn't find any info on how many times they have shot there, but I could give you an estimate of how old the shows are if I catch one of them......

Peirce Co has a very high crime rate, one of the highest on the West Coast, although the areas where most crimes are committed are relatively small. We have a high meth lab concentration too, those stats go hand-in-hand, according to the News Tribune. We are also known for lax police. What better way for our police to demonstrate their willingness to go after criminals than to have it on tape?

Those must have been old shows because about a year back the city of Lakewood (which is also in 99% of those with Washington state shows) Told Perice county that they are no longer welcomed to invite "COPS" to their area. Then about 2 months later The City of Tacoma ( mainly the Mayor of Tacoma & the City) Told "COPS" Not to come back because they were making their city look bad.
The Militiary bases (Camp Murrey, Fort Lewis & McChord) also told Cops that they could no longer use footage with any part of any of the bases because of HLS reasons.

Up until lakewood had it's own Police force, they wouldnt have been abe to TELL PCSO anything. They could ask politely for them to not film in that area but aside from that, they would be SOL. :shrug: TECH Veteran
