‘On Patrol: Live’ Clears Up Maher Confusion

On Patrol: Live-Facebook

On Patrol: Live fans have been confused for quite some time over the Mahers on the show. They have seen three and there are that many in Daytona. Yet, the way they are billed can cause frustration and make viewers’ heads spin. Now, it appears there has been some clarity and that has been a huge relief for diehard fans. Either a new Maher has hopped on board or the names of the three have been sorted out. Keep reading for more details on what has been unveiled.

The On Patrol: Live Maher Mystery

On Patrol: Live viewers have long noticed two men on the show have been billed as Chris Maher. They pointed out how similar they look and are well aware there are multiple Mahers in Daytona:

  • This has been driving me insane for months. We always would say one of the brothers is not as nice, and the other is way nicer. Chris was the not so nice one, the redhead. Richie, with darker hair, was the nicer one. But they have been referring to someone as Chris Maher that’s NOT the redhead, and it’s making me crazy. We need to get to the bottom of this

So, clearly, it was a mystery that needed to be resolved ASAP to clear up any and all confusion. However, there has never been an issue before with the officers. They are easily identifiable and well-known to fans, almost like family. Oftentimes, they are asked for by name and department, especially if they have not been around for some time. Roughly, a month ago, the Maher drama started. It made its way to a Reddit thread:

  • I’m confused. Are these first 2 pics of the same guy? Both are referred to as Chris Maher on the show, but they look like brothers (I know there are 3 Mahers in Daytona; 3rd pic).

Which Maher is which?

Finally, there is a resolution. According to a new thread with two photos, it seems OPL incorrectly identified the Mahers.

  • Speculated for a long time that the show incorrectly referred to both as “Chris Maher”. 2 NOV episode finally got it right

About Time

On Patrol: Live viewers were thrilled that the Mahers were properly identified. They now knew which one was which, who was Chris, and who was not. More so, they were excited Dan Abrams got the names correct:

  • I’ve been saying that since I first saw him on the show when I heard vcat call him Jay. He looked like Chris but he has different tattoos and is a little slimmer than Chris. Dan has always called him Chris and I’m happy that Dan finally got it right. So proud of you Dan.
  • They have shown James a few times in the past and Dan would refer to him as Chris, but never a name overlay on the screen until last week.
  • Yep he always called him Chris. My daughter thought it was Chris too and my son in law and I knew it wasn’t.

So, this seems to be a snafu on Dan’s part and he may want to acknowledge it for those who are still baffled. Did you ever question the Maher situation? Let us know and watch On Patrol: Live Fridays and Saturdays on Reelz.
