Jake Johnson, Damon Wayans Jr., Jonathan Lajoie, Rob Riggle and Keegan-Michael Key, who are all stand-up comedians, improvised a lot of their dialogue.
Luke Greenfield got the idea of the film when a costume designer brought him an authentic LAPD uniform to wear for Halloween, which resulted him gaining high confidence.
At one point they mention going after a 5150, which is a Welfare and Institutions code for a person threatening to harm themselves or others.
At the end of the movie one of the officers on muster has the name tag Nicholas Thomas, the same name as one of the writers.
During on one of the trailers, it shows Ryan smacking a skeleton in front of a group of kids in school. Although this was never shown in the movie.
