Live PD is back live in 2020 starting with the Live PD – 01.03.20 episode. As expected there have been a few changes to the departmental lineup. Most noticeable the show is decreasing the number of departments from 12 to 9 departments. The 12 department lineup was considered a test, and it seems like 9 departments may be the number for now. This seems like a good compromise, 12 departments felt overstuffed, some departments were not even seen.
Departments Leaving
A few departments announced in December that they would not return from the break, others were more of a surprise.
- Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department – Jefferson only signed on for a few weeks and we’re not planning to return in 2020. The Sheriff is considering returning to the show later in 2020.
- East Providence Police Department – East Providence announced in December that they were taking a break. We may seem them return in 2020.
- Bradford County Sheriff’s Office – Not much news about whether we will see Bradford again or not.
- Mission Police Department – Mission was kind of a surprise, but they have come and gone in the past.
Departments Joining
The Pomona Police Department is joining Live PD from southern California in 2020.
