Baltimore County Police Ride Along Program

[410LE_hopeful]

I know the program has been cancelled. However, I am curious as to why the department does not allow current applicants to take a ride along once they are in the process. I was told it was because in the new cars, the compter is practically in the passenger seat. I don't quite get that when during field training a new recruit would have that seat. Any insight?

It doesn't make any sense other then the county doesn't want the potential liability of the program.

Recruits do ride alongs, cadets do them, officers pair up together and ride. The KDT was used as a reason but who knows what the real reason is....I'd suspect it's liability reasons and they are using the car as an easy out.

I can understand that. I was suggested to ask by a detective I conversed with in passing. He said that they should be able to let me do it because I'm in the process. I guess I have to be hired first. Thanks for the insight.

Yes but I know that they will be calling more people as soon as they finish up the first rounds of BIs. So if you havent got a call yet, you could be recieving one soon.

Pretty sure the Taurus has no passenger side airbags also. Someone told me that once...

Oh okay. That's makes some sense. I haven't seen too many put on the streets.
