This paper considers a game in which a single cop and a single robber take turns moving along the edges of a given graph $G$. If there exists a strategy for the cop which enables it to be positioned at the same vertex as the robber eventually, then $G$ is called cop-win, and robber-win otherwise. We study this classical combinatorial game in a novel context, broadening the class of potential game arenas to include the edge-periodic graphs. These are graphs with an infinite lifetime comprised of discrete time steps such that each edge $e$ is assigned a bit pattern of length $l_e$, with a 1 in the $i$-th position of the pattern indicating the presence of edge $e$ in the $i$-th step of each consecutive block of $l_e$ steps. Utilising the already-developed framework of reachability games, we extend existing techniques to obtain, amongst other results, an $O(\textsf{LCM}(L)\cdot n^3)$ upper bound on the time required to decide if a given $n$-vertex edge-periodic graph $G^τ$ is cop or robber win as well as compute a strategy for the winning player (here, $L$ is the set of all edge pattern lengths $l_e$, and $\textsf{LCM}(L)$ denotes the least common multiple of the set $L$). Separately, turning our attention to edge-periodic cycle graphs, we give proof of a $2\cdot l \cdot \textsf{LCM}(L)$ upper bound on the length required by any edge-periodic cycle to ensure that it is robber win, where $l = 1$ if $\textsf{LCM}(L) \geq 2\cdot \max L $, and $l=2$ otherwise. Furthermore, we provide lower bound constructions in the form of cop-win edge-periodic cycles: one with length $1.5 \cdot \textsf{LCM}(L)$ in the $l=1$ case and one with length $3\cdot \textsf{LCM}(L)$ in the $l=2$ case.
