Policy
Commanders are responsible for the operation of the Ride‑Along Program within their command. They are authorized to approve, modify or reject any request for participation.
Commanders are responsible for ensuring that Ride-Along Program Release Forms are completed and applicants are approved prior to the ride-along.
Commanders shall make every effort to assign ride‑along participants to a squad or vehicle that patrols the applicant's stated area of interest. Officers are not expected to participate more than once a month with no more than three days consecutively assigned. Exceptions may be made for volunteers and special assignments. Commanders should seek to be equitable in assignments.
