Request A Ride Along

2. Ride Along Program
   Often citizens wish it were possible for them to be at the scene of police incidents and see exactly how the incident is handled so that they may better judge the quality of their police department. Others are considering a career in law enforcement and wish a preview of what such a career might be like. Some would simply like to see "the other side of the coin". In response to such feelings among the residents of Flagstaff, we at the Police Department have made it possible for you to "Ride-Along" in a police unit, with a police officer, during a portion of their tour of duty. We sincerely hope that by offering such a program we may improve the state of understanding that exists between our officers and you,. the public. Please feel free to ask any questions which you might wish of our officers, for it will only be through improved communications with each other that this goal can be reached.

5. Could I Get Hurt?
   Police work by its very nature is sometimes dangerous. Simply by being in a police car you are exposed to danger. We cannot provide bullet-proof vests for ride alongs.
6. How Long Can I Ride At A Time?
   Normally five hours but not beyond 11:00 p.m. Longer rides may be arranged.
8. HOW SHOULD I DRESS?
   We require that all persons riding along be suitably dressed in slacks, collared shirt or jacket and shoes. Sandals, tee-shirts, halter tops, shorts and unpresentable blue jeans are not permitted. We advise female participants not to wear dresses, skirts or high healed shoes. You should also consider the weather. The duty commander may refuse a ride to anyone not properly dressed.
9. Can I Bring A Camera?
   No, you may not bring your own camera to record events you observe during your ride along. Officers with our department are equipped with body worn cameras and your image may be recorded on those cameras. All footage recorded on officer's body worn cameras is the property of the Flagstaff Police Department and is a public record. Your image can be captured during your ride along and may be released to the public.
10. How Often Can I Ride?
    In order to allow as many people as possible the chance to participate in this program, we limit ride alongs to once every three months.
