In making the announcement, Fox Nation’s president Jason Klarman said, “COPS is one of the most iconic brands on television with an incredibly passionate fan base. We wanted to show our appreciation to all first responders by combining the launch with a free one-year subscription to give back in a small way to those who place their lives on the line every day to keep us safe.”

Along with making subscriptions free for one year to first responders, the streaming platform is also donating five dollars on behalf of each new subscriber to Answer the Call. Donations will be made during the week of September 13 through September 20 with a maximum of $50,000 being contributed.
