Want To Ride Along With A Pleasanton Police Officer?

PLEASANTON, CA – The Pleasanton Police Department offers a citizen ride-along program for those interested in getting a front-row seat to the daily duties of patrol officers.

"The primary goal of the program is to maintain the important relationships we have established with our community members while providing an opportunity to better understand the challenges, hazards and rewards of a police officer's daily duties," the department said.

Citizens 16 years old or older, who live, attend school or are employed in Pleasanton, can apply. However, Ride-Along applicants may be disqualified for issues relating to a criminal background, age, pending criminal action or lawsuit against the department or at a supervisor’s discretion, the agency said.
