The Lawrence Police Department will be featured on “COPS” later this month – and you might want to set your DVR, according to its Twitter account.

“What’cha want? What’cha want? What’cha gonna do when Sheriff John Brown come for you at 7 p.m. on January 29th?” the department posted.

And the department previously promised that it will be epic.

“Imagine how wild the stories could possibly be, then multiply by 2, and you can begin to understand how epic it will be,” the department posted on Twitter.

The Paramount TV reality show tweeted a photo with Lawrence police officers – and they are chomping on doughnuts, of course.

Lawrence police have gained national attention for their hilarious – and sometimes sassy – Twitter presence, according to the Kansas City Star.

Now, the department is ready for the “real deal” on TV.

“See? Cops twitter acct., cameras, and donuts. You know its the real deal.”

The episode premieres Jan. 29 at 7 p.m. on Paramount TV.

This episode is part of the 30th season of “COPS,” which is one of the longest-running unscripted TV shows.
