01About this service

About this service

Spend half a shift in the passenger seat of a patrol car, in the district of your choice, and see what a day of policing in Vice City looks like.

Ride-alongs are run by each district’s community team. Requests are reviewed one by one, and the officer you ride with answers your questions between calls.

Who it’s for

  • Residents and visitors aged 18 and over
  • Anyone thinking about a career with the VCPD
  • Neighborhood watch captains and community leaders

02How it works

3 steps, start to finish.

  1. Step 1: Request a ride

    Choose a district, a day and a half-shift, and tell us in a few lines why you want to ride along.

  2. Step 2: The district confirms

    The community team checks your request within five business days and may call you before it confirms.

  3. Step 3: Ride along

    Come to the station 15 minutes early with a photo ID. Your pass, with its QR code, is in My Leonida.

03What to prepare

Have these ready.

  • A photo ID, on the day
  • A day at least a week from today
  • Plain clothes and closed shoes

Ways to do it

  • Online

    Request a ride any time. The pass appears in My Leonida once the district confirms.

  • In person

    Ask the front desk of your district station.

Your request goes straight to the team in charge. Keep your reference number: it is your proof of filing.
