The 100th episode of "On Patrol: Live," the documentary series that takes viewers with law enforcement officers as they respond to all manner of calls, airs Saturday night, July 29.

The REELZ show, which premiered last July, follows officers from multiple departments across the country, including two local agencies: the Daytona Beach Police Department and the Volusia Sheriff's Office.

The show is hosted by Dan Abrams, the executive producer, and features Sean "Sticks" Larkin, a retired sergeant, and Curtis Wilson, deputy sheriff in Richland County Sheriff’s Department, South Carolina.

'Power of live television'

Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood said Tuesday that the show has done a great job of showcasing the reality of law enforcement work.

"At the end of the day, it’s usually about solving problems," Chitwood said. "That's what you see on the show and I think that's what a lot of people like about it. For our deputies, I also hope it's a sign that the public really appreciates them and the hard work they do on all the calls that will never make the news."

In a news release Monday, REELZ CEO Stan E. Hubbard pointed to the show's positive impacts.

"REELZ's long-standing commitment to public service was a driving force behind bringing 'On Patrol: Live' to our viewers," Hubbard stated. "In fact, the show's 'Missing' and 'Wanted' segments have brought crucial and timely media attention, and social media buzz and calls to action that have helped in the recovery of 22 missing people to date, most of them children, as well as the apprehension of several dangerous suspects. This is the power of live television."

Abrams echoed that sentiment.

"We're gratified that 'OPL' has had such an impact not only on the audience, but also in communities across America where the show has had a hand in reuniting families and bringing fugitives to justice, and we look forward to continuing that mission," the executive producer stated.

Reason for time delay

The show is filmed in real-time and airs live, according to the show's website.

But due to TV standards and practices, there is a delay to address "safety and security purposes" that "can be as little as a few minutes or up to 20-30 minutes, depending on the circumstance," the site states. "Any delay longer than that would be acknowledged on air as having occurred earlier."
