Citizen Ride Along Program

The Simpsonville Police Department offers citizens an opportunity to experience life as a Patrol Officer by participating in the citizen ride along program.  Citizens approved for the program are permitted to ride with a uniformed officer while patrolling the streets of Simpsonville.   This is a rewarding experience for those interested in careers in law enforcement or those that just want to know what it is like to be a Police Officer.

Application Process

Citizens interested in the ride along program must fill out a Ride Along Request Application.  Applications can be picked up at the police department, Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm in the Records Division.  Applicants must agree to and pass a criminal background check that includes a NCIC check, sign all forms and waivers, and agree to follow all rules of conduct before participating.
