The Police Department Ride-Along Program is one of the public programs offered by the Raytown Police Department. This program enables the general public to observe first hand what officers encounter during a normal tour of duty.
To qualify for the program, the ride-along applicant must be at least 18 years of age or have the written approval of their legal guardian if 14 to 17 years of age. No one under 14 years of age will be allowed to participate in the program. The applicant must complete a Ride-Along Application and must sign an Indemnification and Release Agreement at least two weeks before the scheduled ride-along. A records check will be completed on the applicant. A record of criminal arrests or convictions will disqualify the applicant from participating in the program.
Once the application has been processed, the applicant will be scheduled by the Patrol Commander for the ride-along. During the ride-along, the applicant must wear acceptable business or casual attire. Applicants may ride part of a shift or the entire shift with the approval of the on-duty Watch Commander. The applicant will be limited to two (2) ride-alongs per year. The ride-along may be terminated at any time if the applicant does not follow instructions given by the officer or interferes with police activities.
The Police Department encourages its citizens to participate in this program to enable them to get a better feel for the services provided to the community.
If you qualify and would like to participate in the ride-along program, you may download the ride-along application here. Complete the form and turn it in to the Raytown Police Department two weeks before the scheduled ride-along.
Property that was collected as part of an investigation or because ownership couldn't be determined is maintained by our Property and Evidence Technician. In order to get your items returned, you must call 816-737-6120 to speak to the Technician and make an appointment.
Be prepared to provide the case number (if you have it) and the date of the offense. Please note that property can only be released when the investigation as reached a stage where the evidence/property is no longer needed. Therefore, the release procedure is not quick.
Additionally, the release of firearms requires an extra 1-3 weeks because of background checks. We cannot release property to someone other than the owner without a notarized statement. Exceptions to this include when the owner is a juvenile or deceased.
Ex parte orders or orders of protection are not filed at the city level and must be obtained through Jackson County. Please see this document for more details.
We do not provide background checks. You may request one through the Missouri Highway Patrol in person, by mail, or via their website.
