Where will 'On Patrol: Live,' featuring Daytona Beach police, air?

The show airs on the REELZ network, which is channel 354 for Spectrum customers. REELZ is also available on DirectTV and Dish Network.

Which services don't offer 'On Patrol: Live?'

According to reelz.com, "On Patrol: Live" is not available to those who subscribe to the app on Amazon Prime, Fire TV or Roku, or with any free streaming television service, as the services don't offer "live" programming for REELZ.

When does 'On Patrol: Live' air?

The show airs every Friday and Saturday at 9 p.m. EST. Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young is hopeful that the department will be featured by Biketoberfest, which runs from Oct. 13-16.

Is there a time delay on airing 'On Patrol: Live?'

According to the show's website, it's filmed in real time and airs live. "However, because of television standards and practices, like all live programming there is a slight time delay to address the safety and security purposes outlined above," the site explains. "The delay can be as little as a few minutes or up to 20-30 minutes, depending on the circumstance. Any delay longer than that would be acknowledged on air as having occurred earlier."

Having trouble watching the live broadcast featuring the Daytona Beach PD?

First, make sure that REELZ is included in your TV package. Also, take a look at your parental controls. According to the website, if they're set to G, the show may be blocked. 

'On Patrol: Live' sounds familiar. Haven't I seen this?

The show was formerly known as "Live PD" and it aired on the A&E network, Young said. That show went off the air around mid-2021, and then rebooted this summer as "On Patrol: Live."
