Gold Coast Cops is an Australian factual television series on Network Ten. It follows the work of Queensland Police Service officers from the newly created Rapid Action & Patrols Group (RAP) on the Gold Coast in Queensland. The series was renewed for a second season in November 2014, returning 17 March 2015. The second season experienced a 3-month mid-season hiatus due to the seventh season of MasterChef Australia, however, returned on 2 August 2015 in the new timeslot of 7pm Sundays.
