Central Organization of Police Specialists

The Central Organization of Police Specialists is an organization that features in C.O.P.S.

History

The Central Organization of Police Specialists (C.O.P.S.) was a joint-police task force created by the law enforcement officials of Empire City. During this time, Brandon “Big Boss” Babel and his gang of crooks dominated the city where they ran rampant and the Empire City Police Department struggled to contain this criminal threat. This resulted in Mayor Davis requested federal aid with the FBI dispatching Special Agent Baldwin P. Vess to the task of bringing down the infamous Big Boss. During his investigation, Agent Baldwin was seriously injured in a car crash caused by a fight with the Big boss's criminal henchmen forcing the law enforcement officer to be taken to hospital. The damage to his body was critical and could have resulted in him having to face years of rehabilitation but Vess was instead fitted with a cybernetic bullet-proof torso allowing him to walk again. Seeing the danger posed by the Big Boss, Bulletproof decided to assemble a team of police specialists with the task of taking down Babel's criminal empire. Thus, he selected officers with unique skills to become part of the Central Organization of Police Specialists.

At one point, a charity dinner was being held on the most state of the art blimp in the city with this being the Mountback where two C.O.P.S. personnel were requested the attend the even. This saw Bulletproof and Hardtop attending the event which became a target of a Big Boss operation designed to rob the rich occupants attending the charity.
