So You Wanna Be a Police Officer

Item Number: 154
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Have a big brother, sister, cousin, parent, aunt, uncle or adult friend who is curious about law enforcement? Take an up to four hour ride-along with a Santa Monica Police Department Community Services Officer as he investigates traffic collisions, thefts and other crimes. Learn about the process of becoming an officer, the training required of rookies, and about the rewards and challenges of the job. Includes lunch (unless the dispatch board is overloaded with calls!) and lots of stories about the job.
Special Instructions
One participant only. Must be 18 years or older and bring ID. Must submit to a brief background check. Ride-along can be scheduled for daylight hours, Sunday through Wednesday. Crime scenes and traffic collisions can be grisly, so please be sure you have the stomach for this.
