Sean “Sticks” Larkin, formerly a co-host on “Live PD,” joined the show “On Patrol: Live” as an analyst. He continues to provide insight and commentary on law enforcement activities during the live broadcasts.
Sean “Sticks” Larkin, well-known for his role on A&E’s “Live PD,” made a transition to Reelz channel’s “On Patrol: Live” after “Live PD” was canceled in 2020. The cancellation came amid a nationwide reckoning on policing following the death of George Floyd. Larkin, a retired Tulsa police lieutenant, brought his extensive experience in law enforcement to the new program, which aims to offer viewers a transparent look at the nightly duties of police officers across the United States.
“On Patrol: Live” follows a similar format to “Live PD,” with camera crews accompanying police officers on their patrols in various cities, broadcasting their interactions with the public in real-time. Larkin’s role on the show involves providing expert analysis and context to the situations unfolding on screen, drawing from his 24 years of experience on the force. His insights help viewers understand the complexities and split-second decisions that officers often face. Despite the controversy surrounding police-related reality shows, “On Patrol: Live” has found an audience eager for an unfiltered view of American policing, and Larkin’s presence on the show adds a layer of credibility and expertise.
