Summary of Ride Along

I had the opportunity to participate in a Ride-Along for four hours with Officer H. Brown. Officer Brown was assigned to patrol the University sector in Irvine. During the ride, Officer Brown gave me an orientation to the police equipments, policies, and procedures. Some of her responsibilities include watching for cars violating traffic laws and responding to police calls nearby. The police vehicle is equipped with a first aid kit and traffic cones. In the car, Officer Brown carries both non-lethal weapons like the baton and tazer and lethal weapons like a rifle. The police car also has a dash cam that records everything that ensues during the patrol. Officer Brown also has a recorder on her belt to monitor
