C.O.P.S 'N' Crooks was a line of action figures produced by Hasbro and sold between 1988 and 1989. The figures were police and criminals of the future.

Crooks Action figures from Left to right: Rock Krusher, Louie The Plumber, Big Boss, Buttons Mc BoomBoom, Berserko

Each figure, fully articulated and poseable, standing about 6 inches tall on the average, came with cap gun accessories that allow kids, who played with them, to fire off their weapons by pulling back the trigger and releasing it to cause a spark and a popping noise when the trigger slams into a strip of cap firing paper.

Each figures also had a file card printed on the back of the package that contained a biography of the character. These file cards were written by Larry Hama, who also wrote the file cards for Hasbro's G.I. Joe action figures. The artwork made for each package is illusteated by Bart Sears, Mark Pennington, and McNabb Studios.

Several female C.O.P.S. and Crooks characters (Mainframe, Nightshade, Mirage, and Ms. Demeanor) appeared in the cartoon and the comics, but were never released as action figures.
