Ride-along Program

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Citizen Observer (Ride-along) Program is temporarily suspended.

When activated, the Citizen Observer (Ride-along) Program allows citizens, elected officials, media members, government employees, criminal justice students, officers from other jurisdictions and others to ride as a passenger to observe and study the functions and operations of Crystal Police Officers while performing their duties.

Participants must complete the Citizen Observer Program Application below and read and sign a Release and Indemnity Agreement before their ride-along date.
Participants are asked to follow host officers instructions, not distract officers in their duties and conduct themselves in a positive manner. Participation is not obligatory and may be denied.
