dbo:abstract
  • Als Ride-along bezeichnet man die Mitfahrt eines Zivilisten in einem Fahrzeug der Polizei, Feuerwehr oder des Rettungsdienstes. Die Mitfahrer sind unter anderem potenzielle Berufseinsteiger, Journalisten oder Personen, die anderweitig am Arbeitsalltag der Dienste interessiert sind. Üblicherweise müssen die Personen über 18 Jahre alt und dürfen keine Vorstrafen haben oder in laufenden Verfahren beschuldigt sein. 1991 gelang es jedoch dem in Österreich verurteilten Mörder Jack Unterweger mittels seines österreichischen Presseausweises an einem Ride-along in Los Angeles teilzunehmen, wo kurz danach drei Prostituierte – mutmaßlich von Unterweger – ermordet wurden. Ride-alongs werden in vielen Ländern angeboten, populär sind sie insbesondere in den Vereinigten Staaten. (de)

When citizens are selected for a ride along they must read and sign a waiver stating the rules and expectations while participating in the ride along with agreeing that situation can turn dangerous at any time. The most common form of ride-alongs are Law Enforcement Explorers, Auxiliary or Volunteer Police officers and participants in Citizen's Police Academy programs. People go on ride-alongs for various reasons. These include interest in a future career in law enforcement, personal interest in law enforcement officers without such a career, journalists wishing to write reports, and those interested in community relations. Some emergency departments require dispatchers to go on ride-alongs so they can get a first-hand feel for the area they are responsible for. Regardless of the reason, all citizens who meet the department's eligibility requirements are generally welcome on a ride-along. The television show Cops is made with a variety of police ride-alongs put into a half-hour segment. (en)
