The Meridian Police Department's ride-along program is designed to provide applicants with a first-hand view of police work in Meridian, Idaho. Applicants will be paired with a Patrol Officer in a marked police vehicle, and will spend the day observing as he or she responds to various calls for service. Applicants currently in the hiring process may be eligible and are encouraged to participate in this program.

Any applicant who desires to participate in the program must submit a completed Police Department Ride-Along Release Agreement form. 

 

Completed forms may be submitted to the Meridian Police Department via:

All submitted forms will be reviewed, and applicants who meet the requirements will be contacted to schedule a ride-along. 

During the ride-along, applicants are expected to dress professionally. No jeans, t-shirts, or open-toed shoes. Tattoos should be covered. Failure by applicants to dress appropriately or arrive on time for a scheduled ride-along may result in the ride-along being cancelled.
