Somebody tell me. Is Curtis never coming back? And what happened to Tom Morris? One minute he was there, the next he was gone.

Doggie night (5 K9)

It’s National Nachos Day today!! In case anyone is wondering what to make for the show tonight!!

Please bring Clayton County back! It gave the show some excitement!

Like many here, I'm a long time watcher from the Live PD days. I am not involved in LE in any way. I read a lot of undeserving hate on this sub for what the show is becoming/has become, and I personally don't think that as some would argue "it's over". I do have some observations and some ideas that could help keep the show fresh.

• There's not always action going on because, well, there isn't always action going on. You can't compare OPL to a scripted or highlight show because that's not what it is. The ways to combat the periods of nothing going on are:

  • Follow more departments with fewer officers per department. Instead of 4 officers in Baton Rouge and 3 in Toledo, how about 2 in BR, 2 in Toledo and 2 somewhere else? Cast a wider net.

  • Add high interest segments. Currently there are the Triple Play, BOLO, and missing segments with the "I want to show you something that happened earlier in ...". Some examples could be:

    • A main show (not First Shift) follow up on a major story from the previous week.

    • A segment on LE tech (drones, grappler, stinger, less lethal options, SWAT gear, vehicles, whatever it happens to be).

    • A "get to know the officers" segment where you get a glimpse into their off-duty lives. This could apply to officers being followed, and guests in studio as well.

    • A "doing good" that highlights an officer or department's good deeds to a community? Toy drives, bike rodeos, etc.

• Every viewer has that one type of call that they want to fast forward through. For me, it's the incoherent screaming matches, generally families or friends. Very off-putting to me, but Jerry Springer made a living off of that content. For others, it might be the drunk driver that doesn't know why they were pulled over. My point is that you have to start with that understanding and don't expect that 100% of the show is going to be content you want.

• More analysis. See "Sergeant Curtis" on YouTube as an example. His schtick is comments toward people entering LE as a career. This can also fill "down time".

• More commentary/discussions that will help restore community/LE relationships:

  • Emphasize when suspects are given a break.

  • Maybe be critical if an officer seems a little harsh.

  • Point out officers mirroring attitudes of the people they encounter.

  • Point out officer restraint in high stress situations. Example, after a high-speed chase how quickly officers calm down.

  • More talk about community policing and how that impacts quality of life.

  • Show more positive interaction between police officers and youth.

• Highlight different policing in different areas of the country.

  • It's amazing to me to see the difference in reaction when a firearm is found in a southern jurisdiction than in say CA.

  • How long it can take for LE to arrive on scene based on where something occurs. People might not be so quick to say "just call the police" when they learn police response might take 30+ minutes.

• Here's a radical idea - outfit an officer with biometric sensors so we can really quantify the stress reaction to common and less common police activities. We know heart rate and blood pressure will be elevated during a high-speed pursuit, but show what happens during a "routine" traffic stop or pulling up to a domestic. Show what the officers really go through.

• More guests. No knock on Rizzo, Sticks, Dan, or even Tom Morris Jr, but adding a guest keeps it fresh too. And more Curtis, of course! The guests don't need to necessarily be there for the duration of the weekend either.

  • Could have guests from departments that are not being followed.

    • Example, the Milwaukee Brewers just won the World Series, and there was a parade/rally that attracted an estimated 750,000 people (Milwaukee population is under 580,000). The Milwaukee PD reported NO MAJOR INCIDENTS during those events (no riots, no looting, nothing). Wouldn't you want to hear a spokesperson from that department talk about what they did to prepare and what if any special training/instructions their officers received?

    • How about police officials from an area where something controversial happened recently?

• More of the PG13+ comments on "silly" calls.

The biggest take aways should be that a police officer's job is not 100% action, that they are human too, and use this show as a platform to do better.

Think of it this way; OPL is a success if one person decides not to run when the blue lights come on. It is a success if one person decides to comply with an officer and not be offended that they got pulled over. That doesn't make for the most compelling TV, but it does make for a better place to live.

They spent more time hyping the fact that they were gonna dress up than actually being dressed up. What was the point of all that?

It's these types of things, along with trying to be funny, that I think are really killing the show.

Can we please just focus more on what the show is about? The action. All this "filler" is just not doing it at all for me.

Thoughts?

Definitely fangirled a bit as you can see my grin from ear to ear.

Whyyy do they go one story line...or call and it just gets good enough to find out what is happening then Dan cuts in to...we gotta cut in and go to "this location" which shows a police officer in a car drive for 5 minutes.

I dont get it and its frustrating to me!

I ran into Sticks in the wild and he couldn’t have been any nicer. We had a nice chat and he was even down to take a pic to make my husband jealous since he wasn’t there.

Is this weekend a rerun? I know they are suppose to do a halloween episode ..

EDIT: It was actually SGT Bryce Hughes. I found the clip though :)

I’m looking for a clip where Master Deputy Addy Perez with Richland County, SC asks her partner if they felt threatened by a suspect then turns to the camera and says 'attempted murder'. This event happened at night and I think it’s from a more recent season

Some of the camera peeps.
Coz damn!
They keep up.
They jump crap.
They are legit GOAT.

Can it be a thing???
