  Reality television - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reality television is a genre of television programming which generally is unscripted, documenting actual events over fiction, and featuring "ordinary" people over professional actors.
Though there were earlier precedents on radio and television, the first reality show in the modern sense was probably the PBS series An American Family.
Due to the typically low production values associated with reality television (such as having only a handful of people on the set, relatively inexpensive sets, and not much post-production), this type of programming is very popular with television network executives wishing to maximize profits.

One television program which shows cops with both personalities is a popular '80's show called "Chips." In the beginning, the cops try to help someone in need, which leads to a chase with the "bad guy" and in the end everything works out and everyone learns a lesson.
The cops in that particular show are somewhat heroes since they have the characteristics of a hero, being strong, brave and courageous, yet friendly, kind and gentle.

 Mediating Cops by Kathleen Curry - JCJPC, Volume 8, Issue 3
Television and the police are both forms of social force and control and when combined in the production of reality, the human impacts of that joint effort can result in more than public entertainment.
At its core, television is a viewable source of information and entertainment, displaying and imitating the traumas of everyday life in relation to the law (Ronell 1995).
Rarely has television taken the role of dependent variable, and rarer still is the examination of a single television show as a delineation of viewers’ concerns (Fiske 1987; Lewis 1991).

Advertising is the marketplace of television city where commercial goods and services are exchanged for audience ratings - that's we viewers - to pay for running the town - the networks themselves and the news, entertainment and other programs they deliver.
Now privately-run COPs are stretching the limits of what we can put up with as recent public comment over the amount of ads placed around popular primetime programs demonstrates.
With alternative television services on the rise it will be interesting to see if 16 and 17 minutes of ad breaks on commercial television will eventually drive we viewers to the ABC, to pay services or to the video store.
