Police Patrols

One degree requirement for my Criminal Justice Degree is that we ride=along with police officers eight hours once a week. I did my first Ride-Along yesterday for four hours and I must tell you, it is an experience that no one should miss out on. By confidentiality agreement I can't really state what we did. Actually it is not fully defined, I don't know if I can't mention anything, or just no names, dates, or locations. But I'll play it safe and go with the more restrictive. But there are a lot of agencies out there that allow ride-alongs if you ask for prior permission, and sign waiver and confidentiality agreements. I suggest anyone who has even the remotest desire to go ahead and do so. It is a very cool experience and gives you a better understanding of law enforcement, criminals, John Q Public, and the law officers themselves.
