The program follows police officers of the Creeperian Imperial Police (PIC) and its departmental and municipal agencies, and broadcasts various police encounters across Creeperopolis, El Salvador, and the State of the Church. The program is presented by José Ortega Molina and Juan Barrios Espinoza, both retired officers of the national police.
The program first aired on 2 January 2016 and has aired an episode every Saturday since its initial airing. As of 27 April 2024, the program has aired 434 episodes across 9 seasons. Initially, the program was planned to air every other weekend, but because of the overwhelming popularly of the first episode of the program, the network ordered the production of an episode for every weekend, or 52 episodes per year. The program has been renewed by Channel 20 every year for a new season due to the immense popularity of the program, making it the most watched program on the network, rating higher than both Justicia en Vivo and Adentro del Inferno.
Despite being advertised as "live" police, only about three-fifths of the programing is actually live, with the remaining two-fifths being recordings of events which occurred in the week prior to airing. The program has had various controversies due to uncensored content and deadly shooting incidents, especially when broadcasted live.

Presenters
Policía en Vivo is presented by José Ortega Molina and Juan Barrios Espinoza, both of whom are retired police officers. Ortega Molina retired with the rank of Inspector after 15 years of service in the Coordination of Immediate Quick Reaction Forces of Santa Ana while Barrios Espinoza retired with the rank of Subinspector after 11 years of service in the Drug Research Coordination Office of Zapatista.

Filming and broadcasting
Policía en Vivo is broadcast on the network Channel 20. It is produced and distributed by Televisa, the owner of Channel 20. In 2019, Univisión attempted to purchase rights to the program for an undisclosed amount, but Televisa refused.
The program is filmed on the officers' body cameras and by camera operators who accompany the officers. The events broadcasted live on the program are not actually live, but are instead delayed by thirty seconds to allow editors to censor confidential information or offensive content. The thirty second delay was not present in the first five episodes of the program in 2016, being introduced in the sixth episode due to various controversies and complaints which arose from a lack of censorship by both viewers and the network.

The languages that episodes are dubbed into are the Atlántidan, Castillianan, and Salvadoran dialects of Spanish, Jackian, Native San Carlos Islander,[note 1] and Senvarian.
Subtitles for the program are also offered for all the languages offered. Since May 2021, the default script used for Creeperian is the Creeperian script.
