For his \u201clast ride,\u201d Deputy Olson does what he\u2019s always done best \u2014 showing up for the community and handling whatever the day brings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s 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 \u2014 small moments that make a big difference to the people who live here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2019s no such thing as \u201cjust another shift.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 \u201clast ride\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_60928\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NbKRzJ3F_Kg?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[38640,38559,38572],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 -
