CHP RIde ALong in OC/LA area

[UNDERTOW999]

Hello all, I am new to the forum but have been looking around the past couple of days waiting for the admins to activate me account.

Anyways, I received a Job COmmitment Disclosure from the CHP last week, which basically means I passed my QAP. So as long as I pass my background, med and psych eval. I should be good.

So, I was thinking about going on a ride-along with the CHP in my area (Orange COunty) and I was wondering if anyone had an experience with CHP ride-alongs. Also, if there are any CHP Officers on the forum, would any of you be interested in having a ride-along ?

Any info would be great, thanks.

Well congrats on where you are so far and good luck with the rest. Since your in the hiring process, just sign up for a ride-a-long and feel free to use different areas. You'll get some grief from some but, that's just part of the deal. There are a lot of officers that really don't mind a ride-a-long. The more you do the more you of a diverse picture you will get. EVERYONE has done a ride-a-long at one time or other. Ask questions (smart questions ).
