In case you missed it, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Department was on A&E’s Live PD. The show, which features live video feeds of law enforcement on the job while host Dan Abrams and analyst Tom Morris Jr. provide commentary. The show featured VCSO deputies during the episodes on March 6, 7, 13 and 14.
Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood tweeted about the show. “Perfect opportunity for the whole country to see the outstanding deputies we have in Volusia County,” Chitwood said.
A&E’s website describes the program as providing “unfettered and unfiltered access inside the country’s busiest police forces and the communities they patrol in the documentary series Live PD.” Live PD is hosted by Dan Abrams, the chief legal affairs anchor for ABC News. The program features live video feeds from multiple law enforcement agencies throughout the United States.
Although many have said it was an “off night” due to the lack of “interesting police work,” it is believed that the VCSO will be on Live PD again in the near future.
Since Sheriff Mike Chitwood has been in office, one of his goals has been for the sheriff’s office to be more visible as a whole throughout the county, but especially in pockets where crime is higher. Programs like Live PD gives an inside look at what our local deputies deal with on a daily basis.
We are grateful for law enforcement such as VCSO and DeLand Police Department for keeping our community safe!
