Ride-Along
The purpose of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office ride-along program is to provide an opportunity for civilians to ride-along with a patrol deputy to witness first hand the situations that a Douglas County Deputy Sheriff encounters and handles as part of their duty assignment every day.
Applicants must also pass a criminal history background check conducted by the Records Division. Persons found to have a significant criminal history are disqualified from participating. Applicants must be 14 years of age or older, although minors 14-17 must have signature approval from a parent/guardian.
Once cleared, applicants will be called and scheduled for a ride-along. Prior to the ride-along, all paperwork must be completed, signed, approved and turned into the Division Commander's Office.
