In smaller towns they will talk to you right there. going during the day during normal business hours.

If your afraid to talk to a cop at the desk perhaps you should not seek a ride a long.

Your right, you can, and should, call. It's the easiest way of finding out. If your interested in Law Enforcement, you can't be shy about anything. If your to shy to call, then you probably won't make it as a cop.

Each department is different from another department. If one has a ride-a-long program, that doesn't mean the next one does. You'll actually have to talk to a secretary, the Chief or a cop.
