I've watched the show quite a few times. I fear in order to get the show back on without protests from various groups they made a deal to profile black kids in their "Missing" segment they air each episode. I vaguely remember some groups protested that the old show was racist, so this might be their attempt at stopping that up front. I don't know for sure if they only profile or feature missing black kids in that segment but that is all I've seen in the 5 or 6 times I've watched.
There is also this press release blurb: (Albuquerque, NM) - Thursday, July 21, 2022 - The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and the Black and Missing Foundation (BAMFI) are joining forces with new live police series On Patrol: Live to help solve real ongoing cases of missing people, it was announced today by REELZ.
I don't know for sure if they only profile the black missing kids but they did partner with BAMFI and NCMEC (which focuses on kids - not race). I would think NCMEC being the most well-known organization would cover all of that.
I don't care which race the kids being profiled/featured are, but I do care if they only show a single race. All kids deserve the extra help to be found and I'm not a big fan of singling them out by race (if they are in fact doing that) to virtue signal. Just find kids.

Ah, okay, thank you.
