The Monroe Police Department was featured on the television documentary series On Patrol: Live last Friday and Saturday from 8 PM to 11 PM. The show, hosted and executive produced by Dan Abrams, offers live, real-time coverage and analysis of police officers’ daily work across various U.S. departments. Monroe Police Chief Victor Zordan says viewers can observe officers as they patrol their communities, providing an inside look at the challenges and responsibilities they face.
“I thought it was a good opportunity for us for transparency. Even though we walk around with bodycams on us all the time, this is a national bodycam. They have over 3-million viewers from what I’ve been told.
The Monroe Police Department expressed excitement about participating in the show, with Zordan emphasizing the opportunity to demonstrate the professionalism, courage, and dedication of MPD officers.
“People watch this show, and some of the officers might be off in the community and someone might recognize them and come up to them and say hey I appreciated how you handled that the other day. I just saw you making the arrest I didn’t know what led up to it.”
Zordan believes this platform will not only show the brave actions officers take to protect the community but also raise awareness about the efforts made to improve the city of Monroe. Through On Patrol: Live, audiences will get a closer view of what it takes to maintain safety and order in the city.
“We’ve got confidence in our people that we’re gonna do the right thing, and I want to show the citizens of Monroe exactly what we do and how we do it. This is just one of many steps in the four years I’ve been here to re-establish connection with the public.”
The Monroe Police Department will be featured on the show for the next eight weeks.
