Live PD is a new TV show by A&E. It is a little bit like COPS although it is aired LIVE on TV. Camera crews are typically in 5 or 6 areas or even 6 separate states. The TV show switches back and forth between police departments as the action occurs.
This week Spokane County ]Washington was on Live PD as Sheriff’s Deputies were involved in a long car chase. At the end of the car chase, a K9 comes in and holds the guy down who was trying to run from the cops, now on foot after wrecking his truck.
The K9 unit was none other than “Gunnar”, a German Shepherd Dog:

Thankfully, when the suspect was apprehended, everyone walked away with only minor to no injuries sustained.
What an unbelievable chase. Good Boy Gunner and your handler and all who pursuited these 2 criminals. My hands are raw from clapping! I was so concerned hearing Gunnar’s cries to get these guys. It was such a long and stressful chase. I hope they throw away the keys for good on these two low life’s! Thank you Officers 2-legged and 4…for keeping our streets safe! Bravo.
