1	* BizarroEpisode: While most of the advanced technology in the series can be accepted as being futuristic, "The Case of the Midas Touch" delves more into straight-up fantasy. It features a glove that can [[MidasTouch turn anything it touches into gold]], and is heavily implied to be magical to some degree.
2	* CompleteMonster: "The Case of the Lowest Crime": [[MeaningfulName Addictem]] is a [[TheAggressiveDrugDealer drug lord]] flooding Empire City with a new drug called [[FantasticDrug Crystal Twysts]]. Addictem creates 200 Crystal Twyst addicts within a week, with many of them ending up hospitalized or in mental institutions; Crystal Twysts are also deadly in large doses. Addictem offers to become partners with Empire City's main crime lord, Big Boss. Big Boss is [[EvenEvilHasStandards disgusted]] by Addictem's business practices and has him thrown out of his office. Addictem has no limits regarding who he sells his drugs to, willing to sell them to [[WouldHurtAChild 2 pre-teen girls]].
3	* FairForItsDay: A 1980s WesternAnimation series with an African-American lead character who is indisputably in charge and more than one female member (among both the C.O.P.S. and the criminals) in the main cast was unusual back in the day.
4	* HilariousInHindsight:
5	** A [[Series/WalkerTexasRanger Texas Ranger named Walker]]? Kids, can we say, "Low-hanging fruit"? Even more hilarious when one realizes ''C.O.P.S.'' and its Texas Ranger named Walker debuted ''five years'' before that other guy.
6	** This series would not be the only time that a [=DiC=] cartoon series [[WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers would do a rather blatant episode]] [[DrugsAreBad about drugs]], although the second time would be MUCH darker than this one went.
7	** Years later, another [[VideoGame/MetalGear Big Boss]] would come around, [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain complete with cybernetic arm]]!
8	** The speed suits Dr Badvibes created would become a major plot point of ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra''.
9	** It's quite hilarious to see the ridiculously advanced technology in the setting nowadays when 2020 has come and gone without such things being created. It's quite ridiculous to think that this series is now technically set in the past.
10	* MoralEventHorizon: Addictem trying to sell dangerous drugs to little girls.
11	* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/TabithaStGermain [[note]] Credited under the alias of "Paulina Gillis" [[/note]] was the voice of Ms. Demeanor and several one shot characters.
12	* TearJerker: "The Case of The Blitz Attack". Even if you're not a dog person, you'll have a lump in your throat watching this episode. (Issue #5 of the comic, while almost identical, was even worse.)
13	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Despite being grandson and grandmother, Berserko and Big Momma never interacted.
