St. Louis, MO – A routine traffic stop near downtown St. Louis became part of a live “virtual ride-along” Friday evening, as a city police officer pulled over a vehicle after observing a violation on Market Street near 11th.
According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD), Traffic Safety Officer Tenorio witnessed the infraction while participating in the department’s ongoing #SecondSeater series — a social media feature designed to give residents a behind-the-scenes look at real police work across the city.
The initiative, streamed on the department’s Facebook, Instagram, and X pages, allows viewers to see how officers handle calls, make traffic stops, and interact with community members in real time.
Police say the ride-along program aims to improve transparency and strengthen community engagement by showing the daily responsibilities of patrol officers.
No additional details were released about the vehicle stopped or the specific violation observed.
Residents can follow upcoming #SecondSeater events through the department’s verified social media accounts for continued live coverage of patrol activity throughout downtown St. Louis and surrounding neighborhoods.
