    6. Participants are prohibited from audio recording, still and video photography, communicating with the news media, and/or posting live social media updates (Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, etc.) during the Ride-Along without the approval from the Chief of Police. Participants who violate this rule may be disqualified from future participation in the program and be subject to civil litigation.

    7. Participants will follow the directions given to them by their assigned officer at all times.
