Not much is currently known about Tot Cop, however, it is thought that it is based on the Trufax: Tot Cop, an animated short created by Jason and Méabh Tammemägi and produced by the Dublin-based children’s media company Mooshku as part of the 2015 edition of the world-renowned Nickelodeon Shorts Program. Viacom International Inc. registered the series title as a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) under the Education and Entertainment Services category in December 2017, with an extension for the trademark granted in November 2018.
Below is the official description for Trufax: Tot Cop:
"'My name is Truman Faxfinder. Most people call me… TRUFAX! TOT COP!'
Join the world’s cutest tot detective on his noir-influenced adventures as he solves preschool mysteries. Well, when he’s not on nap time or dancing in his PJs.
Trufax Tot Cop is created by Jason and Méabh Tammemägi and produced for the Nickelodeon Shorts Program by Mooshku. Coming soon!"
