Please note:

  • All ride-along requests need to be made at least 30 days in advance to allow for processing and scheduling.
  • Requests may take up to seven business days to review and approve.
  • You will be notified of approval or denial through your preferred method of contact.
  • Submitting a form does not guarantee or confirm that a ride-along will be scheduled, but we will make every effort to accommodate your request.
