Police Initiate Bus Ride-Along Program

LONGVIEW — Next time you ride the city bus in Longview, you may notice a police officer riding along with you. As part of a new program, Longview Transit and LPD have teamed up to put officers on the buses. Once a month, according to KETK, officers will board the buses and ride along for a couple hours. The program will help provide a more secure environment for riders and will also allow riders to reach out to the officers.
