Who is Sean “Sticks” Larkin?
Larkin, a “Live PD” alumnus, had a distinguished 30-year law enforcement career, with experience in patrol, narcotics and gang assignments, according to Fox News. He retired as the supervisor of the Crime Gun Unit in Tulsa, Okla.
Larkin’s nickname, “Sticks,” started when he was doing an internship with the Tulsa Police Department in 1996. During an interview with Sirus XM, he recounted an incident where he pursued a suspect on foot and tackled him. Afterward, his captain reprimanded him, saying he couldn’t do that and jokingly referred to him as a “bleep-stick.”
“It started with an ‘f,’ it’s a bad word,” Larkin said during the interview. “He just started calling me ‘Stick,’ which was short for ‘F-Stick.’ Once we got onto the streets, people started hearing me called ‘Stick’ from other officers and the way the street lingo goes, they thought my name was ‘Sticks,’ and it just turned into that.”
