   Ride With a Recruiter Application

4. Members of the Morgantown Police Department are pleased when citizens of our community express interest in law enforcement and the Ride With A Recruiter Program. In order to facilitate this program, the guidelines listed below have been established. Please review them carefully, as all are very important. Serious applicants only please.

   Police Department shifts begin at 6:00 am and 6:00 pm daily. As a participant, you must decide on which day, Sunday through Wednesday, and designate the time you will report. You are requested to ride for at least two (2) hours and a maximum of four (4) hours. Report to the shift duty officer at the front desk on the date and time you select. Arrange for transportation to and from the Police Department.  

   The waiver form and attached application must be completed and returned to the Morgantown Police Department at least five (5) business days prior to the requested Ride-Along date. The application must be completed in its entirety and the waiver must be signed. Once approved, you will be contacted by a Police Department representative to confirm the date and time of the ride along.  

   As a participant you are requested to be appropriately attired, in such manner that you will in no way reflect negatively upon yourself, the program or the Morgantown Police Department. The following are examples of types of clothing which are not acceptable: (1) t-shirts, halter tops or sweatshirts; (2) shorts; (3) sandals.  

   In order to comply with the department's policies, you must utilize the safety belts in the police vehicle. Certain police calls are considered inherently dangerous and your police partner may respond to the call after dropping you off at a safe place. Wait for another officer to pick you up at that location.  

   Do not interfere in any way with the officer's handling of a situation. You may ask questions concerning a specific assignment after it has been completed and you have left the scene. Tape recorders are NOT permitted in the police vehicle and cameras are prohibited. We are hopeful that you will enjoy your Ride-Along experience and that you find it beneficial.
