What this form is
The Dillon Police Department ride-along packet contains program policies, a participant request, liability release, parental consent, and participant guidelines. For a rider under eighteen, the parent or guardian consent must be notarized or witnessed by a department employee. The packet also requires departmental approval. Read the release and program conditions, and confirm current eligibility, the required notarial certificate, and whether the department accepts online notarization before booking.
Who needs it
Parents or legal guardians consenting to an eligible minor’s participation in the Dillon Police Department ride-along program who choose notarization instead of a department employee witness.
Why it needs a notary
For riders under eighteen, the form explicitly allows notarization or witnessing by a Dillon Police Department employee. It provides a witness/notary line rather than a full certificate; confirm the required certificate before booking.
