Citizens Ride-Along

The Yolo County Sheriff’s Office offers residents a unique opportunity to see firsthand how our deputies serve the community. Whether you’re considering a career in law enforcement or simply want a better understanding of daily patrol operations, a ride-along provides a close look at what deputies experience during their shift.

During your ride-along, you can:

Observe real patrol duties
and calls for service

Ask questions and learn more
about the role of a deputy

Gain insight into our
approach to community policing

Build a stronger
connection with the Sheriff’s Office

Ride-alongs help strengthen partnerships between deputies and community members—an important part of our commitment to transparency and public safety.
