  2. Educational development of emergency services students.
  3. Members of the community seeking career development exposure.
  4. Others approved by the Administration or Operations Divisions.

If you feel you meet one of the criteria listed above, please fill out the form below.

  • Minimum age is 16 years old. If under 18, a parent or legal guardian must complete the appropriate paperwork in the ride-along packet. 
  • If your ride-along request is accepted, you will need to complete a Ride-Along Packet as well.
  • Please allow two weeks to process your request. We will do our best to accommodate scheduling requests but all requests are subject to our availability.
