Pinellas Deputies Return to 'COPS' Saturday

Spike TV fans will get another glimpse inside the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office Saturday when a new episode of “COPS” featuring local law enforcement makes its debut.

Airing at 8 p.m., this episode is titled “Pass the Rock.” Viewers will get to watch as a suspect uses unusual driving techniques to evade police, according to the “COPS” website. They’ll also get to see as a “tough officer wades through a forest of denial before finding the crack. There’s also a search for a man accused of shooting up a neighborhood.

Crews from the Spike TV show spent 12 weeks with deputies from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office late last year. They shot footage for about 10 stories that will be featured during the show’s 27th season. More than a dozen local deputies are anticipated to be featured, the sheriff’s office announced when filming wrapped up in December.
