Richland County, S.C., Deputy Sheriff Kevin Lawrence has received a promotion to a less-public investigator position, and thus he will no longer appear on Live PD as a uniformed officer.

“K-Law” is the second Richland fan favorite who was promoted off the show, having been preceded by Chris Mastrianni.

The Richland cops featured on Live PD still includes charismatic Deputies Addy Perez, Mark Laureano, Garo Brown (the bodybuilder with the huge “guns,”), and Lt. Danny Brown, who have become TV personalities in their own right.

Live PD is the hit ride-along show on the A&E Network with videographers embedded with officers on real-time (or near real-time) night patrol in about eight different jurisdictions around the country.

Fresh, three-hour episodes air on Friday and Saturday evenings at 9 p.m. Eastern and perhaps are among  the last remaining vestiges of appointment TV. Live PD reruns are also in heavy rotation on A&E.

Deputy Lawrence became a Live PD Nation favorite because of his sense of humor and his ability to relate to citizens that he encountered on his shift.

“His levelheadedness, quick wit and no-nonsense personality made Lawrence a hit among fans, who dubbed him ‘Mr. Cool’ and ‘K-Law,'” The State explained.
