Ride-Along Program

The Boulder Police Department's Citizen Ride-Along Program provides the opportunity for residents of Boulder to ride with a police officer on patrol and experience firsthand how the police department's patrol division functions.  Our program is open to qualified applicants who are at least 18 years of age.  Community members are scheduled by appointment only after completing the application process.  Depending on their interest and schedules, applicants can choose to ride with one of three patrol shifts or the traffic unit.

Applicants for the Ride-Along Program must complete a written application and meet the minimum standards set by policy.  A criminal background check will be completed for all applicants.  Community members should submit their application at least three weeks in advance of the desired ride-along date.  The application is available by clicking the button below or it can be obtained at the Public Safety building located at 1805 33^rd St.

The application accessed via the Internet can be filled in electronically; however, it must then be printed and either mailed or dropped off at the Public Safety Building.
