For viewers strangely fascinated by live police work, REELZ offers another dose of ride-along reality with a new episode of On Patrol: Live this Saturday, giving audiences a three-hour glimpse into the unpredictable world of law enforcement across multiple jurisdictions.
But before the main event, REELZ primes the pump with On Patrol: First Shift, a one-hour preview show at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT. Expect a mix of teasers for the night’s action and recaps of memorable moments from previous episodes. It’s essentially an appetizer platter of cop show clichés, designed to whet your appetite for the main course.
On Patrol: Live sees Dan Abrams, Sgt. Sean “Sticks” Larkin, and Deputy Sheriff Curtis Wilson back in their usual roles, offering commentary and analysis — though their insights often feel secondary to the raw, unfiltered footage.
The show’s third season continues to deliver its particular brand of reality TV, capturing the mundane and the occasionally chaotic aspects of policing in real-time. While it may not satisfy those seeking deep dives into criminal justice issues, On Patrol: Live provides a window into the daily operations of law enforcement.
On Patrol: Live airs Saturday, November 9th, at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT on REELZ, preceded by On Patrol: First Shift at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.
