I have done 2 ride alongs. First with Arlington, next with Ft Worth. And yes BOTH of them made sure I knew how get the shotgun if I needed it. It got a lil boring at times but over all it was fun.

I think the best route to go is to meet a couple of Officers and get to know them before you do it. You will have more fun I think. The times i went, the Officers seemed to really gaurd me from ' the fun stuff". Mostly did a few traffic stops, abandoned vehicle type calls. I wanted more than that. I have since become friends with many Ft Worth Officers. A firend of mine did a ride with one of them and was in on a chace, drug bust, and DV calls. I think us all being friends helped that because they "knew' him.

Have fun. I think everyone should do it to see ths bull that our friends in Blue have to put up with every minute of the day.
