The Tuscaloosa Police Department’s Ride-Along program allows interested citizens to accompany a patrol officer during a portion of their shift. TPD encourages community involvement, and we believe ride-alongs are a great way for citizens to observe the challenges, risks and rewards of day-to-day law enforcement operations. Applicants must be at least 18, consent to a background check and sign a non-disclosure form. For more information, contact Briana Freeman at 205-723-3055 or Briana.freeman@tuscaloosa.com
