Live PD is a television show broadcast on the A&E network. The non-fiction program follows police officers in the course of their duties but is unique in the fact that the footage is being broadcast in real time nationally.[3] The series premiered on October 28, 2016 with an initial order from A&E of eight two-hour episodes.[2] On February 1, 2017, A&E announced that they had extended season one to 21 episodes.[4] The show has subsequently continued to air episodes past the 21 episodes ordered. The season 1 finale was scheduled to air on May 13, 2017, but was cancelled after a transformer blew at the Midtown, NY studios, which resulted in a power failure. A&E aired a rerun with a crawl message regarding a power failure.[5] The show is currently on "hiatus" of live episodes due to a pending lawsuit and is expected to air 4 30 minute episodes of Live PD: Police Patrol in its place until June 2, 2017 when live episodes will resume with the premiere of season 2. [citation needed]

Overview

Live PD is presented by Dan Abrams, the chief legal affairs anchor for ABC News.[1][6] The program features live video feeds from multiple (usually six) law enforcement agencies throughout the United States.

Abrams is joined in-studio with Co-Host, Tom Morris, Jr., and one or two experts in the law enforcement field who answer questions in order to explain to the viewing audience why certain actions may have been taken by officers in the field. Each episode opens with an on-going police call and focus coverage switches between coverage of various incidents as the episode goes on. Pre-taped segments, somewhat more conventionally edited like COPS, are aired to cover periods lacking action. Due to the potential for audience viewers exposure to confidential or otherwise inappropriate material to make it to air, A&E has imposed a delay of unknown length.[7]

Notable incidents

Due to the nature of live television, Live PD has captured incidents that may not have been aired on a traditional law enforcement program. One such event that received coverage was Bridgeport Police Sergeant Chris Robinson breaking down on camera after learning 13-month-old Michael Citron had died following Robinson escorting an ambulance carrying the child to a local hospital.[8] As of February 2017, an investigation into the death is ongoing. A second event, involving a Tulsa, Oklahoma man named Randy Wallace, featured Wallace accusing Sgt. Sean Larkin of "profiling" and "stalking." Larkin had approached Wallace, inquiring what Wallace had in his open trunk while noting that Wallace's attire was consistent with gang colors worn in the neighborhood. On Live PD, Wallace was seen giving an impassioned denunciation of Larkin and the Tulsa Police as Larkin remained seated in his patrol vehicle. Speaking at a press conference, Wallace alleged, "he slandered me as far as being a gang member and affiliate, he slandered me really bad."[9] In another incident, a family claimed to have recognized their loved one, 37-year-old Benjamin Johnson, deceased on television after what the Richland County Sheriff's Department said was a drug deal gone wrong.[10] Two men were arrested in the case.

Technology

In order to deliver live footage from the field to A&E's master control in New York City, the production uses bonded cellular technology.[11] This allows for a far less constrained and expensive production than would be possible using traditional satellite or microwave transmission technologies.[7]
