Newark, OH – The Licking County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday it will be featured on an upcoming season of Police 24/7, a nationally televised program airing on the CW Network.
According to a release from the sheriff’s office, filming is scheduled to begin next week, with a production crew accompanying deputies during routine patrols. The show plans to highlight the professionalism and dedication of deputies in two one-hour episodes.
The program, Police 24/7, provides audiences with a real-time look into law enforcement operations. Deputies will be filmed during their daily duties, showcasing traffic stops, community interactions, and emergency responses. The sheriff’s office emphasized that the production team understands and respects the public’s wishes when it comes to privacy and will not film those who decline to participate.
“This opportunity allows us to provide the public with a transparent look into law enforcement operations and the outstanding work being done by the men and women of the Licking County Sheriff’s Office,” the statement read.
Sheriff Randy Thorp expressed gratitude for the collaboration, noting the importance of sharing deputies’ efforts with the broader public. The episodes are expected to air later this year, though a specific broadcast date has not yet been announced.
The partnership marks a rare opportunity for a central Ohio law enforcement agency to be featured on a national platform. Officials said they hope the episodes will give residents a better understanding of the challenges and responsibilities deputies face each day.
