  Pierce County Sheriff's Office released a new 'Friday Ride' video on August 15, 2026“Friday Ride #16 — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 18:05:54 +0000 No two shifts are ever the same, and Deputy Cappetto’s latest ride-along is proof of that. The day begins with soaring temperatures and welfare checks on people sheltering under blankets, as concerned community members call to make sure they’re okay. From there, Deputy Cappetto responds to a suspicious vehicle where allegedly one of the occupants was attempting to sell a stolen firearm, leading to an arrest. The calls don’t stop there. Next comes a domestic violence incident, followed by another welfare check. Just when it seems the shift is winding down, three reckless motorcyclists pass by, lane-splitting and running red lights. The riders refuse to stop for a traffic stop, and Deputy Cappetto has to make a decision… pursue with public risk or terminate? We hope this ride-along gives you a better understanding of what our deputies experience each day while serving the people of Pierce County. Stick around for more Ride Along episodes as we continue to give you an inside look at the realities of law enforcement.
