- Dorchester County, S.C. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of car in water.” Sergeant Marc Mood, Corporal Zachary Brisson, and Master Deputy Andrew Ashton respond to the scene of a submerged car. In the video clip below, deputies advise one of the occupants against trying to get his wallet from the car before it is pulled out. On Patrol: Live captions: “Driver’s license underwater,” “Maybe hope doesn’t float.”
On Patrol: Live host Dan Abrams: “So there’s a reason to not go in the water to get your wallet. There’s a gator there. Gator or crocodile…” On Patrol: Live studio analyst Curtis Wilson: “Looks like a gator. Pointy nose is a gator. Flat, crocodile.”
- Greene County, Mo. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of call threatening police.” In the video clip below, Deputy Jonah Beadles and units respond to a trailer home but no one answers. While on scene, they make contact by phone with a man who claims he’s being harassed and doesn’t need any help. Deputy Beadles: “We’re gonna leave because there’s no crime to address here.”
- Berkeley County, S.C. — Deputy Brown is initially dispatched to a report of a gun threat but is subsequently called off.
- Dorchester County, S.C. (pre-recorded segment) — In the video clip below, Lieutenant Keith Hunt and other units, including a K9, respond to a dollar store burglary:
Dan Abrams update: “So get this: The guy came back to the same store for a third time later that night. Well, this time, with the help of K9 Yoda, they got him. [The suspect] was charged with burglary and resisting arrest.”
Listen below to On Patrol: Live studio analyst Curtis Wilson provide commentary about this incident:
- Clayton County, Ga. — Deputy Edmond Jackson makes a traffic stop allegedly for no lights. The driver indicates that there is a weapon and some weed in the car. Deputy Jackson subsequently issues a citation apparently just for a minor infraction. On Patrol: Live host Dan Abrams: “So it sounds like there were a number of possibilities there, and he just gave him a single ticket there.” On Patrol: Live studio analyst Sean Larkin: “Rather than that felony arrest.” Abrams: “So whatever it was, it’s less. It’s a break…”
Listen below as Deputy Jackson explains to the motorist that he could have faced a potential felony under Georgia law apparently for the combination of a gun and weed in the car:
- Henry County, Va. — While looking for a subject with a warrant, Deputy Brooke Mason has a friendly conversation with two females, one of whom seems a bit too candid.
- Toledo, Ohio (pre-recorded segment) — In the video clip below, cops pursue and detain a teenager at an apartment complex:
- Berkeley County, S.C. — Deputy Brown and Lt. Donovan on a traffic stop. Two occupants who are cooperative. Alleged weed odor. Probable cause car search. Deputy Brown: “The passenger…stated she was smoking a blunt on the way up here, threw it out.” Warning issued apparently for a tag light and possibly for a registration issue. Proof of insurance provided. Deputy Brown: “…they were honest about smoking weed…we’re gonna let them go, and we’re moving on.”
- Dorchester County, S.C. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of disorderly conduct.” Sgt. Mood makes contact with convenience store employees in connection with this call and obtains a description. He then looks in the area for a possible suspect. On Patrol: Live caption: “Searching for toeless bicyclist.” Sgt. Mood subsequently makes contact with a subject.
Sgt. Mood: “…if he didn’t go inside the store, then I got no problem with him being there. I advised him he can’t go back there anymore. He doesn’t need to be there. We’ll let him go.” Dan Abrams: “If he didn’t step foot in the store…” Sean Larkin: “Good to go.”
On Patrol: Live Hour 2
- Richland County, S.C. — Corporal TJ Norton initiates a traffic stop on a cooperative driver for alleged speeding. Alleged odor of weed and some weed allegedly spotted in the car. Consensual car search. Cpl. Norton: “We got a bag here; white powder substance which looks like cocaine.” The driver is detained.
- Triple Play #3 — an Arkansas State Police pursuit. #OPLive host Da Abrams introduces the segment by quipping that “what started as a trooper helping a driver with a flat tire turned into a ‘flat-out’ pursuit.”
- Baton Rouge, La. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of dog shooting.” Sergeant Jordon Lear and Officer Christopher Coleman, Detective Joshua Dennis, and other cops extensively search on foot and by car for a suspect who also allegedly pointed a gun at a neighbor. A suspect was allegedly spotted running in the immediate area. Drone deployed. On Patrol: Live caption: “Searching for dog shooter.” Perimeter established.
Sgt. Lear preliminary assessment: “So the complainant called, said that these neighbors just shot their dogs, and he gave a description. Originally, he said he had no short on, but when were were walking down the roadway, he had a yellow hoodie on. You could see him holding a rifle…by the time I saw that, I accidentally passed him up because I was looking, and he’s younger, faster, more slender.”
Dan Abrams update: “…we got a little more information. The dog was apparently shot earlier in the week. And then father and son pointed a gun at the complainant. Apparently they’re neighbors, and we don’t know if the dog survived. They have not caught the father and son, but they say that they believe they know who they are, so they’ll be going after them.”
- Clayton County, Ga. — Deputy Jackson conducts a routine traffic stop for an alleged lane violation. “…there’s nothing major, but I just want to make sure that she is abiding by the rules of the road…”
- Toledo, Ohio — Detectives Jake Bombrys and Dustin Mickles on a jovial traffic stop and advise a male who appears to be with two females that no one is supposed to be in a park after dark. “You can’t be chilling in the park after dark.”
- Tempe, Ariz. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Drunk ex-girlfriend on TikTok?” Officers Sam Chaloupka, Shante Adkins, and a colleague make a traffic stop on a female driver in connection with this call. Back in the studio, On Patrol: Live host Dan Abrams claims that “obviously, this woman’s going through quite a bit here, but seems to be admitting, also, that’s she was driving under the influence, so we’ll see what ends up happening there.”
Officer Chaloupka recap: “So tonight, there’s a concerned caller regarding her mental health, and it’s a very tricky thing to deal with, but I feel as if going to jail is not appropriate. She’s struggling. She just lost somebody, and grief is really terrible. So I feel that what’s appropriate is to assist her by taking her to a facility where they can give her the appropriate care that she needs right now.”
- Henry County, Va. — Deputy Mason and other units, plus the fire department respond to a motel fire. Deputy Mason makes contact with a man on scene: “I was here about 20 minutes ago for well-being check for you. Tell me what’s going on.” Paramedics to check the man’s vitals. Deputy Mason claims that “I really don’t know how the fire started, but it started in his room…” Deputy Mason also explains that the clerk gave her the wrong room number so she didn’t make contact the first time. On Patrol: Live host Dan Abrams: “So that’s frustrating. It sounds like she thinks they could have avoided this.”
Listen below to some of Deputy’s Mason’s comments about this incident:
- Richland County, S.C. — Corporal Norton and Master Deputy Addy Perez back up Sergeant Bryce Hughes on a traffic stop for alleged speeding and “driving super erratically. According to Sgt. Hughes, the motorist has a DUI history. Cpl. Norton administers field sobriety testing on the driver.
#OPLive host Dan Abrams: “It seems that they do not believe he was driving under the influence, but he was still driving recklessly, so they’re trying to figure out what do about that.”
Abrams follow-up: “Quick little update in Richland County where the guy had passed the field sobriety test. There was a question about his insurance and speeding, and he was released with no citations.”
On Patrol: Live Hour 3
- Toledo, Ohio — Detectives Bombrys and Mickles initiate a traffic stop on a DoorDasher. Consensual car search; nothing found. The driver is released with a friendly warning about known drug areas. “…just for your safety purposes…I know you’re trying to make a living, obviously, but just be careful where you’re going…” #OPLive host Dan Abrams: “So he’ll be on his way.”
- Berkeley County, S.C. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Serving warrant at a saloon.” Deputy Brown and several other units detain a cooperative man on scene and ask him to step outside possibly for a warrant which they need to confirm. #OPLive host Dan Abrams: “We don’t know if he has a warrant. That was just the report.” It ends up that the report was inaccurate. Deputy Brown recap: “So it turns out — sounds like a guy inside don’t like him, tired to get him kicked out, get him arrested. Turns out he [doesn’t] have any active warrants, so he’s just gonna go enjoy his night, and watch his girlfriend work, so we’re gonna move on.” Abrams: “So he’ll be going back in there. Let’s hope there’s no trouble inside the bar.” #OPLive studio analyst Sean Larkin: “These deputies might end up coming back out there.”
- Dorchester County, S.C. — On a friendly traffic stop, Sgt. Mood gives a warning for lights being out.
- Fullerton, Calif. — Corporal Brandon Ramek and Officer Jason Coleman on a bicycle pursuit. They detain the bicyclist and search his backpack. Bleeping. On Patrol: Live caption: “Suspect in custody.”

- Baton Rouge, La. — Sgt. Lear and a colleague provide a vehicle assist by pushing a disabled car. On Patrol: Live caption: “Needing coolant or Kool-Aid?” Sgt. Lear: “…I’m ready to go home…this is why I needed to be hired with NOPD, and that stands for ‘not our problem, dude.'”
- Greene County, Mo. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Report of horse out of barn.” Deputy Beadles and another unit make contact with the reporting parties on scene; drone deployed. In the video clip below, Deputy Beadles mentions that thermals, however, are “largely ineffective” in extreme humidity.
