Development and production

The series was announced by TBS in mid-2014 with a ten-episode order. It was promoted as "...a hilarious spoof of police procedurals in the spirit of Police Squad!". A few gags presented in the preview reel were cited as similar to the classic TV cop show satire Sledge Hammer!.

Originally intended to premiere in late 2015, in November 2015 it was announced that the first season of ten episodes would run uninterrupted on the network and be released through video on demand starting on January 17, 2016. All 10 episodes of season 1 premiered during a 25-hour TV marathon on January 17-18, 2016.

A second season of an additional ten episodes premiered on June 6, 2016. On July 6, 2016, TBS renewed the series for a third season, which premiered on April 10, 2017. A fourth season, scheduled for 2018, adds Bobby Cannavale to the cast.
