Sheriff's Department Ride Along Program
Periodically, you may consider riding along with the deputy
assigned to your neighborhood. The "Ride Along
Program" gives the Coordinator an opportunity to observe
first hand some of the many things involved during patrol in the
subdivisions. To participate, consult with the deputy, check
with management at Cypresswood, and complete the appropriate
paperwork.
It must be understood in advance that if the deputy is needed
in a high priority situation or has to proceed to a crime scene,
you will be let out at an agreed upon location, and there you
may wait for pick up. Limit your time in the car to an hour or
two at a time. As Security Coordinator, we do not want to abuse
the program, or put undue pressures on deputies. The ride will
bring new respect for the job.
It is a good idea for all Coordinators to take the Sheriff's
department Citizen's Police Academy. (CPA).
Security Coordinators, invite your subdivision Board of
Directors to sign up for the Ride Along Program. The
neighborhood does look different from inside a patrol car.
