Ride-A-Long

[Nader629]

hey guys and gals, i just had a quick question does anyone know of any PD's that have a ride a long program in the south west side of chicago? thanks

Just call the department you want to ride with and ask

most PDs will only allow interns do the ride along. A lot of liability issues come into play if something were to happen.

But just call the PD you want to ride along. Never know, they might say yes.

A lot of departments only offer it to residents, interns, or local students. Like the others said, just call and ask.

Kendall county allows ride-alongs!

NIU, Gurnee, Orland Park are a few that come to mind even though they are on all opposite sides of the map i know that they do them. If your down in central IL i did a 12 hour ride along with urbana which was one hell of an expierence. I got to sit in on everything from the briefing, help write the tickets, interact with citizens, go on the calls and not just sit in the cars. Man all this is making me miss testing!

wow! that sounds like a thrill, i didnt call Orland Park, or Orland Hills. Those cities are 10-15 min. away, i'll have to give them a call and see what i can find out.

Last I remember when working with OP, it was only interns. But things might of changed exactly 1 year after resigning.

I know it's definitely not southwest, but Evanston is pretty liberal about ride-alongs, and I went on an exciting one there.
