Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office

The Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office offers the community a chance to ride along with a deputy on patrol because we believe it helps people to better understand our work. Any adult over 18 years of age may qualify. Please note that a person may only ride along once every 6 months so that we may accommodate as many people as possible.

​

The Ride Along Program

The role of the Ride Along Program is to enhance public awareness of the job duties of our uniformed patrol deputies. Citizens can begin a ride along at one of 3 shifts below.​

• Day shift- 5:00am to 5:30pm

• Evening shift- 2:00pm to 1:30am

• Midnight shift- 8:00pm to 7:30am

​

Appropriate Attire and Meals   

Please wear casual business attire, i.e. dockers, khakis, dress shirt or blouse etc. We do not allow riders to wear denim jeans, shorts, t-shirts or opened toe shoes. If you are not properly dressed, you will not be allowed to go on your scheduled ride. You should also bring money for a meal or bring a sack lunch.
