REELZ today announced the law enforcement agencies from across America participating in On Patrol: Live when the new series premieres on Friday, July 22 at 9PM ET/ 6PM PT: Marion County and Volusia County Sheriff’s Offices in Florida; Beech Grove Police Department in Indiana; Nye County Sheriff’s Office in Nevada; Paterson Police Department in New Jersey; Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office in New Mexico; and Richland County Sheriff’s Department and Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office in South Carolina.
On Patrol: Live reunites the on-camera team of host and executive producer Dan Abrams and Sgt. Sean “Sticks” Larkin, retired Tulsa Police Department lieutenant with nearly 25 years of service, alongside Deputy Sheriff Curtis Wilson, Division Commander with the Richland County Sheriff’s Office. Together, they will provide minute-by-minute live analysis and perspective for viewers as the series follows police officers and sheriff’s deputies live on patrol from diverse departments across America.
On Patrol: Live will also engage the community by inviting them into the series with “Citizen Ride-Alongs” that will give local residents, within the communities of the departments appearing on the show, a first-hand perspective as they ride along with officers followed by On Patrol: Live cameras. “Citizens On-Set” invites community members into the studio as guests where they can share their Ride-Along experiences and observations while also commenting on the night’s live policing. Both features offer a unique opportunity for viewers and members of the community to gain unprecedented access to law enforcement – from routine calls and high-stakes incidents to tracking down fugitives of justice and recovering missing children.
“We’re thrilled to premiere with a diverse lineup of police departments and sheriff’s offices from coast to coast, ready to show viewers the work they do on a daily and nightly basis,” said Stan E. Hubbard, CEO of REELZ. “Today’s announcement is a big step toward engaging with our community of viewers as we bring a live policing show into their homes on Friday and Saturday nights.”
Hosting and executive producing On Patrol: Live is Dan Abrams, CEO, and Founder of Abrams Media, host of Dan Abrams Live on NewsNation, Chief Legal Analyst for ABC News, and former host of Live PD. Joining Abrams is Sgt. Sean “Sticks” Larkin, retired Tulsa Police Department lieutenant with nearly 25 years of service, and Deputy Sheriff Curtis Wilson, Division Commander with the Richland County Sheriff’s Department in Columbia SC. Live on set every Friday and Saturday night from 9PM ET – 12AM ET/ 6PM PT – 9PM PT the trio will provide viewers live analysis and context, offering unique insight into the experiences of the men and women of law enforcement appearing on the show. The live show content is complemented by public-service segments dedicated to finding missing children and tracking down America’s worst and most wanted criminals.
