Ride-Along Program

The VCU Police Department offers a citizen ride-along program where a student, staff member, faculty member or member of the community can ride along with an officer during a shift. This allows members of the VCU community to view, firsthand, the daily activities of a VCU police officer and the issues facing today’s law enforcement. Fill out this interest form and email Lt. Joel Abernathy if you would like to learn more about this program. 

Virginia Commonwealth University is a nationally renowned public research institution dedicated to the success and well-being of all members of its community. VCU student, faculty and staff groups and associations are open without regard to any characteristic or identity protected by law.
