This special ride-along takes us out for one final shift with Deputy Chris Olson as he wraps up an outstanding career with the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office. For his “last ride,” Deputy Olson does what he’s always done best — showing up for the community and handling whatever the day brings.
Throughout the shift, we follow Deputy Olson as he responds to a wide range of calls that reflect both the unpredictability of the job and the steady professionalism he’s known for. From contacting a trespasser and handling a verbal dispute, to conducting traffic stops and checking a suspicious vehicle, the calls keep coming. We also see Deputy Olson assist a stalled driver, recover found property, and address a trashed vacant lot — small moments that make a big difference to the people who live here.
The pace picks up with a pursuit, followed by a demonstration that showcases the experience and calm leadership Deputy Olson brings to every situation. Each call serves as a reminder that after years of service, there’s no such thing as “just another shift.”
As Deputy Chris Olson closes out his career, this ride-along captures more than just calls for service, it highlights a legacy of dedication, service, and commitment to the community. Thank you, Deputy Olson, for the countless miles, long nights, and unwavering service. Enjoy your well-earned retirement and thank you for the “last ride”.
