I was wondering, do the State Police allow civilian ride-alongs? I've wanted to go on one with the State to see what it's like. I've been on many ride-alongs in my town with a Sargent i know as well as in Washington D.C. with the Metro Police and in Fairfax County, Virgina as part of classes for my justice degree. I am going to try and get into LE when i graduate so this is legitimate. So do you guys do them? How would I go about applying for one? The nearest barracks to me is the one in Concord, and I live really close. Do I just call them up and ask? Or do I call HQ in Framingham? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would call GHQ in Framingham and inquire. I remember back when I was an intern (2 years ago) that the troop's HQ approved me going along in a marked cruiser...might as well start at the top and find out, then have someone lower on the pole have to ask, then their boss has to ask thier boss, etc.
I have noticed ride alongs aren't as common on this job as others. I did a few with my home town when I was in high school and college, it was like a night at Disneyworld. Walpole PD knows how to work!
