Spokane police to be on COPS Saturday

The Spokane Police Department will be featured on Saturday's episode of COPS.

The episode features Officers Elina Bishop and John Arredondo responding to a report of two people having sex on a stranger's front lawn in northeast Spokane in August.

The Spokane County Sheriff's Office also is featured, along with the Des Moines, Iowa, police department. A preview is posted above.

Film crews traveled with patrol officers five days a week for six weeks last summer. The episode airs at 8 p.m. on the FOX channel.

This is the fourth time COPS has filmed in Spokane.

An episode in 2007 featured a high-speed chase that included a police cruiser catching fire.
