Stop worrying.
You might just find out that you hate it.
Stay calm, alert and try to see the negatives too to law enforcement by asking questions.
Take a few deep breathes and relax.

To answer the first part of your question about the ride along make sure you are early to arrive for the shift you will ride on. In addition dress professionally. Wear dress slacks, shoes and a dress shirt (maybe even a tie). Many agencies have dress codes but even so it will reflect better on you if you come looking professional. Be polite to the officer and listen to what he says. Try to learn and ask lots of questions.
If you want to work in law enforcement (I assume you are young) you need to learn how to say NO. No to drugs, crime and many of lifes temptations. Get a good education in criminal justice, keep your backround clean and work hard. Once you get your degree you can start out in a local police department and work your way up. This is the best experience for any future law enforcement career. The best police chiefs, CIA agents, and FBI started out as road officers where you pay your dues.
Good luck to you!

FBI and CIA require at least a college degree.
You need a real clean background. Don't even think of trying dope. Learn a 2nd language. Military experience helps.

Keep your head down and do what the officers tell you to do.

WHEN RIDING WITH THE OFFICER REMEMBER "YOU DO NOT BOARD YOUR HORSE WITH JUST ANYONE"
ASK S/HE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW-FIRST TIME I RODE WITH POLICE DEPT THEY TOOK ME AND ANOTHER STUDENT TO THE STREET WALKERS AND TOLD THEM WE WERE VICE SQUAD--HAHAHAHHAAHA
