The Corpus Christi Police Department recognizes that many people would like to learn more about the work we do. To this end, we have established the Ride-Along program. A "ride-along" is a civilian passenger riding in a patrol car with a police officer during part of a tour of duty. The Ride-Along program provides the citizens of Corpus Christi an opportunity to see for themselves the daily workings of law enforcement in our city. The Ride-Along program gives citizens the chance to get to know the police officers who protect and serve them and a better understanding of just what it means to be a police officer. The program also provides an opportunity for police officers to get more acquainted with the citizens we protect. Additionally, for those interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement, the Ride-Along program provides an opportunity to see what the job is like.
If you are interested in participating in the Ride-Along program, contact the Crime Prevention Division at 361-886-2765.
