The Norman Police Department Citizen Ride-Along Program allows members of the public to ride-along with members of the department to observe and experience first-hand the various functions of the Department. During a ride-along, the citizen will ride as a passenger with an officer on patrol or observe the work day of members engaged in other functions of the department, such as the Communications Division. 

Ride-alongs are available to Norman residents and business owners, students currently enrolled in classes in Norman and those employed within the City of Norman on most days of the week from 10AM to 11PM. Exceptions to this schedule may be made as approved by the Chief of Police or the Watch Commander. 

For questions or additional information on the Citizen Ride-Along Program, call 405-366-5292 or email rclerk@normanok.gov. 

The Citizen Ride-Along Program is currently suspended due to our ongoing Police Training Officer (PTO) program.

To request to do a ride-along, the applicant must come to the Norman Police Department, 201 W. Gray Street - Building B, to complete and sign a ride-along waiver form. The applicant must also present a valid state-issued identification card or driver license number, birthdate, address, and telephone number. The application must be completed at least five business days prior to the requested ride-along date and time. If an applicant's request is denied, a representative of the department will advise the applicant of the reasoning for the denial. 

An applicant can be disqualified for any of the following reasons:

• Age: One must be at least 18 years of age to participate
• Prior Criminal History
• Pending Criminal Action
• Pending Lawsuit against the Norman Police Department or City of Norman

Approved applicants are only allowed to ride-along once every six months.
