LAWRENCE — The Lawrence Police Department will be a new addition to the third season lineup of A&E's "Live PD" which is currently underway.

Lawrence police will officially join the series starting Friday, April 19, and running every Friday and Saturday night from 9 p.m. to midnight through the summer.
