Has Captain Curtis Wilson officially exited On Patrol: Live as one of the main hosts alongside Dan Abrams and Captain Tom Rizzo? He has missed several episodes and, although this is commonplace for him, it seems like he may never return. So, what is going on this time around? Keep reading for all of the details that are currently known.
Curtis Wilson Officially Exits?
On Patrol: Live viewers have come to appreciate the trio of Dan Abrams, Curtis Wilson, and Tom Rizzo. Rizzo had come in to replace Sean ‘Sticks’ Larkin, but now it seems that Curtis has also been replaced. Someone always seems to be filling in for him; many times, it is Sticks. Of course, fans are happy to have Sticks back, but they are also confused as to where Curtis is. He keeps vanishing not just without warning but without explanation, so is he gone for good?
All over social media forums, OPL fans have been asking where Curtis is. They just want to know if he is safe, and more than that, when he shall return. It has been noted that he has many commitments aside from the show, so it makes sense that he would be MIA. However, one follower made the observation that the latest promo for the new season did not feature Curtis but rather Sticks, Rizzo, and Dan:
- so in the new advertisement for the new season, it’s sticks Tom and Dan is that just for this weekend or is Curtis gone? I know he several other jobs.
After seeing the new photo, it was questioned if Sticks and Curtis would begin to rotate. Viewers are divided as to which one they like better, so this would allow for both. Furthermore, it would continue to give Curtis the time off he needs but still keep him as a presence on On Patrol: Live. However, others believe that if Curtis Wilson continues to be absent, he won’t be back permanently.
Bring back Curtis! 🫶🏼💙 #OPLive #OPNation #Reelz pic.twitter.com/cjVUVE8amW

Missing Curtis
All On Patrol: Live fans seem to want is answers. They want someone to say where Curtis Wilson is, aside from Richland, South Carolina, and how long he will be gone. Moreover, they would like to know if he will just make guest appearances or be back full-time. Either way would be fine, but it is the unknown that is a struggle:
- Where’s he been?! I saw rumblings he might be leaving but I chalked it up to internet-rumors
- over the last ~6 months I’m pretty sure I can count on one hand the amount of Curtis appearances we have seen. Could even be longer (but I don’t think so) I don’t fault people for asking questions.
- Maybe sticks and Curtis will rotate to keep it fresh. I’ve loved stick’s new quips n energy last few eps.
Hopefully, the show will provide some answers sooner rather than later, so there is no more wondering. Have you missed Curtis, and do you think he is gone for good? Let us know and watch On Patrol: Live Fridays and Saturdays on Reelz.
