The Orange County Sheriff Department's ride-along program is offered primarily to residents and those employed by the County; to include Professional Staff, County Employees, Sheriff Reserve Deputies, and Sheriff Explorers. Every attempt will be made to accommodate interested persons: however, any applicant may be disqualified without cause.
A resident may submit a ride-along request form, however, a background check will be conducted and there is no guarantee a ride will be authorized. Authorization for the ride is granted by the Division Commander.
