Request a Ride Along

Citizen Ride Along Program

Citizens may request to ride with a Sheriff's Department Road Patrol deputy by completing a Ride Along Request Form. A records check will be completed on the citizen requesting to ride along. No person with a prior criminal history shall be allowed to ride along without special permission granted by the Sheriff.

The individual requesting to ride shall list three dates and times they would like to participate in a Ride Along. The Ride Along will be scheduled between 6:00 AM and 11:00 PM.

Citizens shall wear appropriate attire that may not include short shorts, short skirts, dresses, bare backs, low backs, low fronts, halter/tube tops, midriff or sheer tops, no open shirts or shirtless, and clothing must be clean and presentable.

The Ride Along Request Form must be signed by the Patrol Commander and the Sheriff prior to the Ride Along.

The Ride Along Request Form includes a release from responsibility, which must be signed prior to the Ride Along.  If the citizen is under the age of eighteen (18), the form must be signed by a parent or legal guardian.  No person under the age of sixteen (16) shall be allowed to participate in a Ride Along without special permission granted by the Sheriff.

The citizen is an observer only and shall not become involved in or interfere with any situation.

No recording devices (audio or video) shall be permitted without the specific approval of the Sheriff.

Citizens shall not be allowed to leave the patrol unit unless given permission to do so by the deputy.

Citizens may not carry a weapon at any time during the Ride Along.

The Ride Along will not last in excess of four hours, unless approved by the Sheriff. Citizens may request that the Ride Along be terminated at any time. The citizen shall be returned to the Sarpy County Law Enforcement Center as soon as practical.
