Big Island Ridealong

[Tacitus]

I'm going to be traveling to the big island in July. Whenever I travel somewhere I go on a ride along with the local PD--awesome learning opportunities. Anybody operating out of the Kona side and want to take a fellow officer out??? Send me a PM....thanks.

I tend to do the same thing when I travel, if possible. I did a ride along with Honolulu PD back in 2000, and it was pretty cool. Such a different culture. They use their own personal cars for squad cars (some do). Language: If you don't know "pigeon", you're gonna have a hard time understanding some of the locals! But it's still interesting. Enjoy it!
