Lancaster Police Vehicle

Ride Alongs

"Ride along" means to be an official passenger in a patrol vehicle, accompanying a police officer during part of a normal tour of duty. The primary purpose is to provide an opportunity for the individual or community to see first-hand the workings of law enforcement as it relates to the City of Lancaster. It fosters a better understanding of the challenges, hazards, and rewards of a police officer. Particularly useful for Criminal Justice students. Please contact the department for further details if you are at least 18 years of age and would like to participate.
