I've been on a good 50-60 ridealongs with various departments but some of the outstanding calls i remember would have to be the following.
the city i usually ridealong with is broken into the north and south end, on this particular night i was with a north end officer and we were clearing a loud party/noise complaint call when the south end received a shots fired call and they were requesting assistance from us. So myself and several other officers booked it south to the call, this was a great thrill! As we were ariving on scene the suspected vehicle with 2 suspects was located and not pulling over, finally the vehicle came to a stop and a high risk stop was in effect, there were lights going officers with guns drawn K9's barking etc. after the suspects were in custody myself and the other officer returned to the scene, fire rescue was just clearing with the victim. We then began blocking the scene off and marking evidence such as shell casings. There was a huge pool of blood by the front of the car where the victim was shot at. Luckily the guy lived, the gun was located in someones front yard a few blocks away.
Another call i remember was someone got robbed at gunpoint, The BOL was put out for a suspect vehicle/description but we went to the scene to speak with the victim. Turns out a chevy impala with a 12 inch red Led stick in the dash pulled the victim over, the suspect then approached the driver ordering him out of the vehicle at gunpoint he then asked for his wallet, car keys, and cell phone and told him to start walking. The suspect even had a chain on with something to resemble a police badge. The victims stuff was recovered and the suspect was caught the next day.
This last one was a police chase we were in. Myself and the officer i was with were working the downtown bar area when a call for someones vehicle stolen out of their driveway came in. So we hopped in our cruiser and waited nearby to see if the car would come southbound towards us. While some officers were responding to the scene they spotted the vehicle matching the description. When they got behind him and lit him up he did not stop and took off. We hit our lights and sirens and flew to assist. The guys speed was increasing and he continued to flee, he blew through several traffic control signals and he was just about to cross the county line when he was doing 70mph+ around a tight curve, he did not make the curve, he went up on the grass went in the air a good 20+ feet cork screwed it like in the dukes of hazard and rolled it right into a ditch nearly hitting a huge tree. At that point in time he attempted to get out and run on foot, he got about 10 feet before he was tazed and tackled. Only one prong from the tazer actually struck him so he didnt get the full affect. He was extremely intoxicated and realized what he did right then and there he even admitted to us that he did it because he was walking down the street and saw the keys were in it so it was his first pick. Keep in mind the vehicle was a 1988 GMC van, no clue as to why you would steal that and think you would get away from the police with that, it was obviously totalled after this. We had multiple agencies including the township and the county assist us. The driver was transported by EMS to the hospital and we gave the ambulance an escort and we had to stay with the guy all night until day shift came to relieve us, which sucked but it was all still fun.
Those are some of my stories I have many more if you guys wanna hear.
