They didn't just try to steal a catalytic converter... They drove straight through a farmer's soybean field to get to it.

Even when there isn’t a real-world call, the training never stops.
Deputy Seech hides a narcotics training decoy among piles of equipment, then brings in K9 Zadic to work the odor and locate it. Watch closely as Zadic’s behavior changes when he enters the right area and follows the scent directly to the hidden narcotics.
See more of Deputy Seech and K9 Zadic of the Allegan County Sheriff's Office in Episode 10 of The Shift, now available on the Red Watch Productions YouTube channel.

The Allegan County Sheriff's Office joins The Shift tomorrow night in an all-new episode premiering at 8/7c on the Red Watch Productions YouTube channel.
Ride along with Deputy Seech as he investigates damage to a soybean field connected to an attempted catalytic converter theft, responds to a fully involved structure fire alongside Martin Twp Fire & Rescue, and gives viewers an inside look at the training required to prepare his new K9 partner for the street.
Later, a concerned citizen’s report leads Deputy Seech to a vehicle with open alcohol inside. As a torrential thunderstorm moves in, a language barrier and worsening conditions complicate the investigation and force Deputy Seech to adapt quickly.

A caller reported what looked like a couple fighting inside their vehicle. They insisted everything was fine, but her attempt to explain the misunderstanding somehow made the situation even more suspicious, and then she stopped herself at the worst possible moment.

From above, Deputy Kelderman tracks a fleeing vehicle as Michigan State Police attempt to box it in, ground units back off, and the driver continues south toward Allegan County. It’s a perspective most people never get to see during a police pursuit.

Fred Palmiter wasn't just remembering names on The Wall. He was remembering a childhood friend.
Jerome Taylor had been one of the kids Fred grew up with. He couldn't swim, and classmates once pulled him from the bottom of a pool.
Years later, Jerome would become a causality of war.
"He wasn't killed in action. He drowned crossing a river."

We’ve had the privilege of featuring the Kent County Sheriff’s Office twice on The Shift, and today we’re excited to share a look at another side of their agency.
Their Public Information Office recently produced this behind-the-scenes feature on the Dive Team, and it’s exactly the kind of storytelling we love to see from law enforcement agencies.
There are so many incredible units and dedicated people behind the badge that the public rarely gets to see. Videos like this help bridge that gap, and we’re always happy to spotlight agencies investing in authentic, high-quality storytelling.
If you have a moment, give their video a watch and show them some love.

Our Red Watch community has always shown up for people when it matters most. Today, I’m asking if you’ll do that for someone who means the world to me.
Years ago, when I worked at Haines City Fire Department, I met someone who would become one of the closest friends I’ve ever had. His name is Nate.
I’ve met a lot of first responders throughout my career, and I can honestly say Nate is one of the greatest men I’ve ever known.
He’s the kind of person who always puts everyone else before himself. The kind of firefighter who never hesitates to answer the call. The kind of friend who somehow leaves every conversation making you feel like you can take on the world. He is the ultimate hype man, the first one to celebrate your wins, the first one to pick you up when you’re struggling, and someone whose entire purpose in life seems to be helping other people.
Now he’s the one who needs help.
Nate is battling Polycystic Kidney Disease, and his kidneys are failing. He needs a kidney transplant to survive. Thankfully, his incredible partner is a match and will be donating one of her kidneys. But while they’re both recovering, they’ll be facing enormous medical expenses, lost income, travel costs, and everything that comes with a life-changing surgery.
If Red Watch has ever brought you value, made you laugh, taught you something, or introduced you to the incredible people behind the badge and bunker gear, I’m asking you to help me support one of the very best people I’ve ever had the privilege of calling my friend.
Every donation helps. And if donating isn’t possible, sharing this post could help it reach someone who can.
If you’d like to see the kind of man Nate truly is, I encourage you to watch the documentary episode I made years ago featuring his crew at Haines City Fire Department. You’ll quickly understand why this means so much to me.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Thank you for supporting one of the good ones.
Best,
Zach Hamelton

He said he only had “a couple beers and some Fireball.” When deputies asked why he was passed out in front of Speedway, his answer was simple: “Yeah, I took a nap.”
Then came the push-ups to prove he was fine, followed by “I hate you guys” and a very specific critique of the deputies’ “little ass feet.”
You truly never know what a shift is going to bring.
