Pastors: Ride-along Application with a Police Officer

Pastors in Hampton Roads

Did you know your local city government would love for you to ride with the police officers in your area?

This is a win-win-win-win opportunity!

1. You get to experience what your local police deal with in your neighborhoods.
2. You may get to minister to the officer you ride with. They have a tough job and nationally, 75% of their marriages end in divorce due to stress.
3. You will understand the need of your neighborhoods better as you ride through them with an officer who goes there often.
4. You may be able to help the officer with a non-violent domestic call. That encounter could help that person makes needed changes in their lives because of your intervention. That person may join your church or at least become a better resident of your area.
5. The city and the police will be grateful for your help! You might be able to help reduce the crime rate in your area as you meet people who need the Lord and a good church—like yours!

Here are some application forms for Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Newport News to fill out and then take to your local police precinct. Their police precinct addresses are all online. I have attached several forms below but all cities in Hampton Roads use similar forms. You can find them online and at your police stations. By the way, ANYONE over 18 can do a Ride Along with a Cop!
