Animal Cops The Animal Cops is a series of shows based in four American cities, Houston, San Francisco and Detroit, following the work of the cities only animal rescue groups. The shows are aired only on Discovery Animal Planet. Detroit In the southeastern corner of Michigan beats the industrial heart of America's "Motor City" — Detroit. And on the outskirts of town is the headquarters of the city's primary animal welfare agency, run by the nonprofit Michigan Humane Society (MHS). Animal Cops: Detroit follows the MHS's animal cruelty investigators as they track down animal abusers and bring them to justice. Introducing an exceptional team of investigators and dozens of astonishing cases, Animal Cops transports viewers to the heart of Detroit — a city where animal crimes revolve around dog-fighting, pets exposed to the elements and animal neglect. Michigan Humane Society investigators in the Detroit area respond to more than 4,000 animal cruelty incidents a year and Animal Cops has unprecedented access to each story, as well as follow-ups on the fate of the perpetrators and their animal victims. San Francisco San Francisco ACC, with a team of 10 investigators and two full-time police officers, receives over 10,000 calls a year including animal-related emergencies, dog-fighting calls and animals in distress. The team covers the metropolitan district of San Francisco and responds to calls as unique as the town they are in. Capt. Vicky Guldbech and Lt. Michael Scott lead the San Francisco ACC team on the important mission of protecting the city's animal population. Viewers see a wide range of animal issues in Animal Cops: San Francisco, from the touching reunion between a family and their cat that has been missing for seven years, to the disturbing stories of dogs that are mistreated in the rampant problem of dog-fighting rings in the city, to emotional rescue missions like a kitten caught in a chimney. Houston Animal Cops: Houston goes on call with investigators from the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (HSPCA) as they fight to combat cruelty across two and a half thousand square miles of Texas. Filmed inside the HSPCA's headquarters (and throughout the territory covered by the agents), the hour-long episodes of Animal Cops: Houston allow viewers to accompany the agents as they investigate some of the 9,000 animal cruelty crimes that are reported to them each year.
