Despite liability, many police agencies offer citizens the opportunity to ride along with police officers to help and bridge the gap between officers and their community. In addition to meeting this goal, you can learn quite a bit about crime prevention and awareness. I am lucky in that I get to spend a good bit of time in a police cruiser in an official capacity which cuts quite a bit of red tape. That being said, when an opportunity presents itself to take a ride in a new or different situation, I jump on it. Maybe ride alongs could be a good way for you to learn as well.
