The new Reelz reality series On Patrol: Live premiered July 22 and 23 to HUGE ratings, bringing in just under one million live viewers each night.
“On Patrol: Live provides an authentic, live look at policing in communities all across America,” said Reelz CEO Stan E. Hubbard in a press release celebrating the monster ratings. “We are as thrilled with the audience embrace of our new series as we are proud to bring this experience into their homes.”
For those of you who haven’t checked out the show (yet), here is an excerpt from the initial press release announcing the series:
“On Patrol: Live” reunites the on-camera team of host and executive producer Dan Abrams and Sgt. Sean “Sticks” Larkin, retired Tulsa Police Department lieutenant with nearly 25 years of service, alongside Deputy Sheriff Curtis Wilson, Division Commander with the Richland County Sheriff’s Office. Together, they will provide minute-by-minute live analysis and perspective for viewers as the series follows police officers and sheriff’s deputies live on patrol from diverse departments across America.
“On Patrol: Live” will also engage the community by inviting them into the series with “Citizen Ride-Alongs” that will give local residents, within the communities of the departments appearing on the show, a first-hand perspective as they ride along with officers followed by On Patrol: Live cameras. “Citizens On-Set” invites community members into the studio as guests where they can share their Ride-Along experiences and observations while also commenting on the night’s live policing. Both features offer a unique opportunity for viewers and members of the community to gain unprecedented access to law enforcement – from routine calls and high-stakes incidents to tracking down fugitives of justice and recovering missing children.
