On Patrol Live All-New Tonight 

A recap of the November 13, 2026, On Patrol: Live episode on Reelz, as anchored in the #OPLive Jersey City, N.J., control center by attorney/executive producer Dan Abrams, along with members of the On Patrol Live studio cast consisting this weekend of retired LEO Tom Rizzo and Richland County, S.C. Deputy Sheriff Curtis Wilson (both of whom are military veterans), follows below.

This On Patrol: Live recap/update also includes the often-provocative or playful reaction on X (formerly Twitter) to the ride-along law enforcement incidents in the field.

As #OPNation (i.e., the cohort consisting of the show’s avid followers) is well aware, and for those viewers and/or social media users new to the program, On Patrol Live on Reelz is more or less a reboot or rebrand of Live PD on a different network.

  • Baton Rouge, La., PD
  • Dorchester County, S.C., Sheriff’s Office
  • Manalapan, N.J.
  • Chicago, Ill.

On Patrol: Live Tonight

For #OPNation, a foot pursuit in Dorchester County, S.C. seemed to be the primary highlight of this otherwise relatively calm or uneventful Friday the 13th, all-new episode of On Patrol: Live.

See below for details on all 29 law enforcement encounters across nine scheduled police departments on the current roster in this On Patrol: Live episode guide/recap. And check back for updates, or potential updates, on open or inconclusive incidents.

Programming notes: The Greene County Sheriff’s Office did not appear in this episode, although Corporal Travis Skinner was one of the LEO/military veterans who was honored during the broadcast. Next weekend’s installments of On Patrol: Live (November 20 and 21) will commemorate the docuseries’ 400th episode including “great moments” from past shows. The entire studio cast will be on hand.

Listen below to Officer Segura’s incident recap:

  • Tempe, Ariz. — Officer Nick Christy, with colleagues, responds to a car accident. Officer Christy: “So we got a call saying that somebody hit the drive-thru when they were going through it, and that’s why the fired department’s here as well.” A driver on scene ends up getting placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI.
  • Baton Rouge, La. — On Patrol: Live caption: “Motorcycle stop.” No plates. Sgt. Lear: “…Your house is in a trash can? I don’t think that translated correctly…” The driver, who lives nearby, is released to push the bike home.

Two occupants, plus Zeus the dog. #OPLive host Dan Abrams: “A 20-year-old dog and a $20 bill between the seats.” #OPLive studio analyst Tom Rizzo: “…not 20-20 vision…” Abrams: “Definitely not 20-20 vision for the dog…”
  • Tempe, Ariz. (pre-recorded segment) — In the video clip below, Sergeant Matt Berker and other cops respond to a fight between roommates (#OPLive host Dan Abrams: “…whose friendship was apparently ‘on the rocks.'”) After an investigation, they arrest one male on scene for alleged aggravated assault.

Listen below to the #OPLive studio panel discuss this incident:

  • Idaho Falls, Idaho — Officer Ben Botcher initiates a friendly traffic stop for an “dangling” plate. “Your driving looks pretty good…but your license plate only has that one bolt. We see a lot of stolen vehicles like that…” The driver is released with a warning.
  • Bernalillo County, N.M. — Deputies Joshua Sanchez-Mirabal respond to a disturbance at a home “where an uncle arrived on scene; he’s causing a disturbance with family members looking for some drugs that he stashed at the residence, and it appears that he’s, like, damaging property over there, trying to find his stash of meth that he left over there. So we’ll gonna go over there, check it out, makes sure everybody’s safe…best-case scenario, no one goes to jail….” Deputy Lamoureux is also on scene.
  • Baton Rouge, La. (pre-recorded segment) — Officer Christopher Coleman and other cops make contact with two possibly intoxicated males laying in the grass. They are sent on their way.
  • Toledo, Ohio — Detectives Jeff Milum and Mychael McAninche makes a traffic stop for allegedly running a stop sign. Det.

On Patrol: Live Hour 2

  • Triple Play #2 — a Thurston County, Wash., Sheriff’s Office pursuit (video to be added).
  • Dorchester County, S.C. — In the video clip below, Lieutenant Mike McKee, with backup from other deputies, conducts what started out as a routine traffic stop possibly for running a stop sign. Alleged weed odor. Probable cause car search. The driver attempts to run but is detained after a brief foot pursuit. On Patrol: Live caption: “Suspect in custody.” Read below for thorough incident updates from several deputies on scene.

Lt. McKee preliminary recap: “Typical traffic stop. He admitted to smoking weed in the vehicle. Asked him to step out. Deputy Hunter was walking back to the car. I hear something going on. It seemed like he wasn’t compliant. Looked over, saw Deputy Hunter chasing the suspect. We made it just behind the business. Caught him here. Other than running, he’s pretty compliant. We’ll see what’s going on. I don’t know why he ran. We’ll figure that out in a little bit.”

Lt. McKee follow-up: “So for right now, very minuscule things. The reason why we were getting in the car, he showed me a joint that he said was marijuana. I told him not a big deal, just step out for me, we can solve this. Deputy Hunter decided to walk him back there. And then next thing I know, we’re 10-0 on foot going that direction. Continued the search of the car. We find that we got a ski mask. We have a magazine full of bullets. Not sure, but while were chasing if he dropped anything, we’re gonna go back, retrace our steps, see if we can find a firearm or anything he may have dropped.”

Deputy Ethan Hunter summary: “Lieutenant McKee stopped him, I believe for running a stop sign. Smelt…marijuana. Got him out of the car, had him step back here with me. When he stepped…back here with me, he kept distancing himself, and I saw that. Grabbed his arm; he tensed up. He took off running. We scuffled here for a little. I ended up on the ground. Lieutenant McKee was a lot faster than me. He was able to catch him further down the street. I ended up catching up, but after speaking to him, he said he ran; he thought his insurance was bad, but it’s not. We just checked that. He had a little bit of weed in his pocket, and then prepackaged weed as well that he tossed while he was running. And then he’s also out on bond through Charleston County for domestic violence. So he was worried about all those things. And he has a CDL. He was worried about all that combined. It would have messed up his CDL. But for that little amount of weed, Lieutenant McKee probably wasn’t even gonna hit him up on that, but he’s gonna go to jail tonight.”

Listen below to Deputy Cam Abell discuss the testing procedure after which On Patrol: Live studio analyst Cutis Wilson explains that “even though they use that NIK kit, which is a narcotics identification kit, it still has to go off to the lab to be totally identified”):

#OPLive studio analyst Tom Rizzo: “…that’s always the indicator. When you’re telling somebody, ‘I’m gonna let you go with a warning…your going to be fine.’ And the nerves don’t come down. Instant indicator something’s up…your nerves are still elevated — indicator.”

  • Toledo, Ohio — Dets. Milum and McAninch initiate a friendly traffic stop. Warning issued to use a turn signal.
  • Idaho Falls, Idaho — Officer Botcher conducts a friendly traffic stop on a pickup truck: “Do your neighbors love you?…your truck is ridiculous, man. Like that is louder than any vehicle ever should be. That belongs on a racetrack, and that’s why I pulled you over, okay?” Officer Botcher warns the driver that it’s a potential expensive ticket for a city code violation and “it’s well worth your time to get it squared away.”
  • Berkeley County, S.C. — Corporal Rachel Salka makes a traffic stop on a pickup truck for alleged failure to maintain lane.
  • BOLO segment — Per the video clip below, an Idaho “washing-machine menace,” or as #OPLive host Dan Abrams quipped, “a customer…who, shall we say, worked himself into a ‘bit of a lather.'”
  • Bernalillo County, N.M. — Deputy Lamoureux makes a bicycle stop in connection with on a call about an individual allegedly threatening some kids at a community center. On Patrol: Live caption: “Nunchucks found.” In the course of an investigation, cops determine that the detained subject is uninvolved and he is released. They are unable to find a potential suspect who, according to Deputy Lamoureux, is “somebody on a bike wearing all black.” In a callback to the March 21, 2026, episode, the show replays footage (see video below) of #OPLive studio analyst Curtis Wilson’s impressive nunchuck skills, this after the subject does his own demo.

#OPLive host Dan Abrams: “That is not AI.”

#OPLive host Dan Abrams: “So it sounds like those cuffs will likely be coming off in the relatively near future because it sounds like they didn’t find of knife on him…” #OPLive studio analyst Tom Rizzo: “He’ll get to peddle away.” Abrams subsequently adds that “it sounds like they’re gonna release him, the guy who they wanted to talk to…the threat of a stabbing nearby. The guy was on a bike. The person was on a bike. May have been wrong place, wrong time.”

Listen below to Deputy Lamoureux’s incident recap in which he mentions that the kids “kind of recanted their statement:):

  • Toledo, Ohio — Officers Mike Gee and Chris Mulinx, plus several other cops, respond to a report of a man down in a residential neighborhood. They initially don’t find anyone on scene, but subsequently encounter the possible subject after searching the area. The subject allegedly has warrants.

  • Idaho Falls, Idaho (pre-recorded segment) — In the video clip below which is a follow-up to last Friday’s huffing incident, police arrest the subject female shortly after arresting the male that same night. #OPLive host Dan Abrams: “It seemed that there are various explanations and defenses kind of fell apart moment by moment as we watched that. But kind of incredible when we saw that scene, the husband there, huffing around the corner, and then, apparently, they went back at it.”
