Does the Rock Island Police Department have a ride along program?
City of Rock Island residents, at least 18 years of age, are invited to ride along with one of our police officers on a normal tour of duty. This program gives residents the opportunity to gain insight into the operations of the Police Department. Persons wishing to participate must complete a ride along request form, which may be obtained at the front desk of the police department. Completed requests should be returned to the front desk of the police department. College students enrolled in a Law Enforcement curriculum are also invited to participate in this program.

To effectively combat crime in a neighborhood, it is important that citizens get involved and provide their names and act as complainants and/or witnesses. However, if you are uncomfortable about providing your name, address or phone number, you can still report suspicious activity in your neighborhood.
