This Weekend’s On Patrol: Live Highlights, Commentary, and Social Media Activity

On Patrol: Live Season 4, All-New Episode, Tonight

An On Patrol: Live recap, featuring New York City-based studio host/executive producer Dan Abrams’ puns, analysis, and witty/sarcastic banter usually with co-anchor Curtis Wilson (a Richland County, S.C., deputy sheriff), and analyst Tom Rizzo (Howell Township, N.J., PD) as they comment on the live police ride-alongs, plus the often-provocative or playful social media reaction to the incidents in the field, follows below.

Programming notes: Curtis Wilson again apparently has engagements elsewhere, so both retired Tulsa, Okla., cop Sean “Sticks” Larkin (a former OPL co-host) and Oklahoma County Sheriff Tommie Johnson III return to the studio alongside Abrams and Rizzo to provide commentary on this all-new episode of On Patrol: Live.

Either Curtis Wilson has had a particularly busy 2025 resulting in schedule conflicts, or he is phasing himself out, or being phased out, of his role on On Patrol: Live.

As #OPNation is well aware, and for those viewers and/or social media users new to the show, On Patrol Live is more or less a reboot or rebrand of Live PD.

Please review this important DISCLAIMER.
  • Lee County, Fla. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of person that fell.” Deputy Mike Knapp and at least one other unit respond to a residence for a potential medical assist. The male homeowner is unwilling, however, to let cops in the house. He also asks the deputy if he’s been smoking pot: Deputy Knapp: “No, not at all. We’re here to just make sure everybody is okay.” Homeowner also asserts that “if I’m not getting paid, you have to turn the camera off.” [The conversation also includes references to curtilage and exigent circumstances.] The homeowner agrees, however, to let the paramedics come in. The wife apparently declines medical attention. First responders then leave the location.

Abrams: “Looks like EMS is now on this scene…this is kind of a bizarre call. Guy calls in, says his wife has fallen, says she’s been drinking. But the EMS team didn’t want to go in without the police there. They were concerned about this guy. He didn’t want the police to come in, so now they’re tying to figure out how to get in the house.”

Listen below to Deputy Knapp’s incident recap (“…we’ll probably flag this address in our local database as a hostile person for our response in the future…”) followed by a studio panel discussion:

  • Knox County, Tenn. — Officer Kirsten Yule-Zaagman provides backup on a traffic stop. On Patrol: Live caption: “Outstanding warrant.” The female passenger allegedly has a warrant. Car search. The female passenger is detained. The male driver is released: Officer Yule-Zaagman to the latter: “You’ve been cool with us. We’ve been cool with you. We’ve been fair…we’ll get you out of here in just a second.” Abrams: “So it looks like this guy is gonna be going on his way in a few moments.”

Officer Yule-Zaagman to the female upon searching her: “It’s gonna get real personal for just a second, okay?”

Officer Yule-Zaagman recap: “This young lady is gonna be going to jail for an outstanding warrant. When I was searching her, she admitted to having some narcotics in the vehicle, so we are going to continue a search of that vehicle now. I believe they already found some methamphetamine.”

  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — Detective Noah Galbreath and K9 Officer Roger Lawson on a traffic stop. The driver seems to deny having any contraband in the vehicle which purportedly is his mom’s car. Car search. Drugs allegedly found. The driver’s mom shows up on scene. Det. Galbreath: “Your son’s got some fentanyl.” Mom: “It’s not his…he doesn’t do any drugs at all.” Det. Galbrath: “Really? He’s on probation for drugs.” Mom: “I know but he doesn’t do any…” The driver is arrested for alleged possession of fentanyl and possession of paraphernalia. “He’s gonna die if we don’t take him to jail…he needs to make better decisions…”
  • Richland County, S.C. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of person threatening self-harm.” Deputy Andreona Sanders and other units, along with the fire department, respond to hotel where a person is hanging out of a window. Abrams: “We’re getting some information in that this may be a potential suicide attempt at this hotel…obviously, this is a sensitive situation…” Negotiators on scene. Abrams: “They’re just trying to be careful because they just want to talk him in. And there [was] some concern about possibly accidentally falling as well. They’ve got two negotiators there…trying to convince him to come back inside…” The negotiators eventually pull the subject safely back inside the room. Medical help will be provided to him.

Listen below to Deputy Sanders’ recap (“…physically trying to get him out of the window was the best option that they had in the current moment…”):

  • Berkeley County, S.C. — Lieutenant Kristin Riddle makes an amicable traffic stop for alleged swerving. Apparently a spider in the car was the source of the issue. The driver, who has a friendly blind bulldog in the car, is quickly released with a cordial warning. Abrams: “So it’s just a spider in the car, which you can understand, very distracting.”

Listen below to Lt. Riddle’s brief summary:

  • Baton Rouge, La. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Responding to rollover accident.” Corporal Wendy George, Officer Joshua Dennis, and other cops respond to an accident scene. Potential suspicion of DUI investigation. Cpl. George: “He has refused all the tests, field sobriety and all that, so what we’ll have to do is show up with a warrant to have his blood drawn. So that’s probably the next step.”
  • Baton Rouge, La. — Officer Christopher Coleman and other units search for an individual allegedly wanted in connection with an alleged homicide investigation and who allegedly also has warrants. They make contact with a man at a convenience store, but he is uninvolved. They subsequently conduct a traffic stop on a pickup truck at a gas station and detain a male who is Mirandized.

On Patrol: Live Hour 2

  • Knox County, Tenn. (pre-recorded segment) — Officer Timothy Knight and other units pursue an alleged hit-and-run driver who fled “during the height of rush hour.” With the help of a citizen, the car is finally stopped. Police pull out the driver after a window smash. The driver faces several charges.

Listen below to Captain Tom Rizzo along with the other studio panel members discuss the boxing-in process which can be “a logistical nightmare as far as for tactical reasons and for safety”:

  • Clayton County, Ga. — Lieutenant Jonathan Carey initiates a traffic stop on a motorcycle that was allegedly traveling at 126 mph. The driver (“I’m just trying to get to my girl…”) is arrested for alleged speeding and reckless driving. Lt. Cary: “You’re not gonna make it to your girl, alright, because you’re going to jail.” The motorcycle is towed.
  • Triple Play #1 — A dangerous Akron, Ohio, pursuit.
  • Lee County, Fla. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Possible boat theft.” Deputy Knapp makes contact with two men on scene in connection with this call. Abrams update: “You remember the guys with the boat who were on the side of the road, and it was kind of, like, odd. They were saying it was their boat. It was their boat. It was. And they can continue building their trailer as well.”
  • Wheeling, W.Va. — Sergeant Jason Hupp and colleagues make a traffic stop. Two occupants. Sgt. Hupp: “Let me ask you this: Who else drives the car? Because when you say ‘not that I know of,’ that’s a very unsure answer…” K9 sniff; K9 alert. Abrams update: “The driver…was given a citation for meth. The passenger was released with no charges.”
  • Baton Rouge, La. — Corporal George and other units respond to a report of a man allegedly with weapons in a vacant hotel room. Security had already detained the subject on scene. Management wants the man trespassed. Burglary or unauthorized entry charges are possible.
  • Daytona Beach, Fla. — Officer Gabriel Marquez responds to a report of someone screaming for help in the water. Officer Marquez tries to determine whether the subject was already picked up by a boat. Abrams: “They want to confirm the person’s okay.” Officer Marquez makes contact with some witnesses: “So apparently one of these individuals observed the male get picked up from another boater that was passing by and drove him to land. So we’re gonna go over there, see if we can locate him, and advise everybody else.”

On Patrol: Live Hour 3

  • Christian County, Mo. — Deputy Trevor Guinn and another unit make a friendly traffic stop apparently for a registration sticker issue on the plate. The driver has various Christmas-related items in the car. Deputy Guinn: “Anything good in here?…” Driver: “…I got some disco balls…” Deputy Guinn summary: “…had some good Christmas decorations — that time of year. They look like they’ve seen better days, but we’ll check the license and just get him on his way.”
  • Clayton County, Ga. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Possible stolen vehicle.” Deputy Devon Brown, Lieutenant Carey, and Lieutenant Brandon Warren initiate a traffic stop at gunpoint. Two occupants. The vehicle is apparently a rental. Police gather information from the driver about the status of the car. Abrams: “This guy’s trying to explain why he kept a rental car well beyond the date of the rental. He’s basically saying, it sounds like, they didn’t have to money to pay for it.” The driver also says he lost his phone, so he couldn’t contact the rental agency. Abrams: “Doesn’t sound like that’s really gonna be a successful explanation at this point.”
  • Baton Rouge, La. — Officer Coleman and another unit conduct a traffic stop on a minibike allegedly with no plate. On Patrol: Live caption: “Minibike stop.” The driver is subsequently released with a warning to keep the vehicle on the sidewalk. “At least you got a vest on; I will give you that.”
  • BOLO update (San Jose, Calif.) and new BOLO segment (Los Angeles, Calif.)
  • Knox County, Tenn. — Officer Yule-Zaagman and units on a traffic stop. Two occupants. The driver apparently delivers for DoorDash. Car search. Drug paraphernalia allegedly found along with a ‘wizard’s wand’ and at least one plastic duck. Another officer on scene: “That’s why I can’t order DoorDash.” Officer Yule-Zaagman: “It makes you think twice about it.” The other officer: “I will go out of my way to get my own food.” The occupants end up getting released.

Officer Yule-Zaagman recap: “So there’s quite a bit of paraphernalia in that vehicle, but we’re cutting them a break this time. They seem to be doing better, so hopefully they continue on this trajectory, and they start making some better decisions for themselves. And they have really cute dogs, so that’s always a bonus.” Abrams quips that “the wand worked…they waved it…”

  • Wheeling, W.Va. — Sergeant Hupp and other cops conduct a traffic stop. K9 Virgil alleged alert; probable cause car search. Police allegedly find a small amount of meth in the vehicle. The driver is detained and subsequently arrested. “If you’ve been clean for a year, a better thing to do is stay away from that to keep you away from the situation.”
  • Berkeley County, S.C. — Lt. Riddle responds to a residence on a report of stolen keys. The matter is resolved for now. Listen below to a bemused Lt. Riddle, who also says “right now, this situation is still kind of spicy,” provide a brief recap:
  • Daytona Beach, Fla. (pre-recorded segment) — Det. Galbreath and Sergeant James Maher conduct a traffic stop. Abrams introduces the segment by noting that “officers pulled over a driver who said he’d been beefing, which was why he was speeding, which did not explain his sweating.” Probable cause car search. Drugs allegedly found.

Sgt. Maher: “You’re sweating you ass off, bro…I’m a big boy too. I’m wearing a big-ass vest and all this stuff. You’re sweating worse than me.”

Listen below to Sgt. Maher’s summary (“the state of Florida doesn’t play with fentanyl…” followed by a studio panel discussion:

  • Clayton County, Ga. — Deputy Brown and Lt. Carey conduct a traffic stop on a Corvette for a tag issue. Deputy Brown: “…that’s not a Georgia-issued tag.”
  • Clayton County, Ga. — As the episode concludes, Deputy Brown and Lt. Carey let the Corvette go to assist in a motorcycle pursuit in which the operator is allegedly traveling the wrong way.
