Campus PD was an American television show on G4. The show was produced by the UK-based production company Cineflix Productions,^[1] who also produced American Pickers (which airs on the History Channel in the United States) as well as Canadian Pickers (which airs on Canada's History Television).^[2]

The show was similar in style and tone to the TV series Cops . Unlike Cops, Campus PD focused specifically on college and university campuses and towns and the authorities who patrol them, either using local police departments or the on-campus police departments maintained autonomously by the universities themselves. Filming takes place at various locations across the country. The theme song for the first two seasons was The Clash song "Police on My Back".

From January 10, 2017 to the Fall season, reruns of Campus PD were seen on cable network Spike.

Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) helicopter accident

On April 30, 2011 a helicopter associated with Campus PD crashed into student housing in Indiana, Pennsylvania, where the show was gathering video for a segment on Indiana University of Pennsylvania. FAA spokesman Jim Peters was quoted as stating that all the people on the helicopter had injuries ranging from minor to critical with two crew members and the pilot having serious to critical injuries and one crew member being able to walk away from the wreckage. The pilot was taken to Allegheny General Hospital (North Side) in Pittsburgh but his condition was not confirmed by a hospital spokesperson.^[4] The three passengers were all Canadian citizens. On May 24, 2011 one of the injured, Greg Jacobsen, died at Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown, PA from complications of his injuries. Jacobsen suffered multiple injuries and died of respiratory problems that developed during his recovery.^[5] Students inside the housing had to be relocated for the rest of Finals Week.^[6]

University spokeswoman Michelle Fryling said that Campus PD was working with Indiana Borough Police and IUP President Werner issued a statement that said IUP police were not involved and that "We are relieved that there were no injuries to students or others on the ground. The university was neither consulted nor involved in any arrangements related to this project."^[4]

Campus PD used footage shot at IUP, but did not use any footage shot from the helicopter. The show ended the season with a memorial episode to Jacobsen.^[7]
