Antioch Police Department General Request For Ride-Along Liability Waiver

Please allow 7 – 10 days to process from time of application.
Please see Ride-Along Policy below.

RIDE-ALONG POLICY

While there are no legal reasons citizens should not ride patrol with our officers, there are regulations needed and limits set to provide a measure of safety to the rider and to prevent possible liability problems for the department. The following guidelines for a citizen ride-along shall be adhered to:

  • Ride-alongs shall remain in the patrol car and shall not become a party to an incident
    or situation.
  • A ride along is not permitted to use any type of recording device or take photographs during the ride along.
  • Only Law Enforcement Officers in good standing who are permitted by Federal and State Laws may carry a concealed weapon during a ride along.
  • Ride-alongs shall remain in the lunchroom while in the station except to use the restroom facilities.
  • At no time will ride-alongs be allowed in the jail or booking areas.
  • In certain circumstances, ride-alongs may be allowed on weekend evenings. However, these shall be approved by the on-duty Watch Commander or another member of Police Management.
  • Ride-alongs shall be limited to a single four (4) hour session between the hours of 8am and 12am.
  • Ride-alongs shall be a resident of Antioch. Only the on-duty Watch Commander or Police Management shall approve exceptions.
  • Dress attire can be casual and should be conservative and reflect good taste.
  • All ride-alongs must sign a waiver, without exception.

RIDE-ALONG REQUEST FORM

Sunday – Thursday only.
I, (name entered above) request to ride patrol with a member of the Antioch Police Department. I, ACKNOWLEDGE, riding in a police car is a potentially hazardous activity, as it may be necessary to operate the vehicle under emergency conditions, and police officers are frequently confronted with danger in the course of their duties. I, voluntarily, assume these risks by participating in the Ride-Along Program; and I, HEREBY, WAIVE all liability and responsibility for my safety during the time spent with the police officer. I will not hold the City of Antioch, Antioch Police Department, Chief of Police, or any individual member of the police department liable or responsible for any injuries I may sustain, resulting from my presence with the police officer. I understand that I am prohibited from audio or video recording any and all events during this Ride-Along. Any recording device used is subject to review and retention as evidence. I also understand that this Ride-Along can be terminated at anytime by the on-duty Supervisor without notice.
(Persons under 18 years of age are considered minors and the signature of a parent is required.)
