Law Enforcement Explorer Post
The Explorer program is an educational program for high school students ages 14 - 20 with an interest in law enforcement.
Once accepted into the program, Explorers attend an abbreviated law enforcement academy in the fall or spring. Explorers also
meet twice a month to learn about the law enforcement profession. 
Training topics include: Traffic Control, Traffic Stops, Arrest Control, Criminal Code, Patrol Procedures, Building Searches,
Crime Scene Investigation, Crisis Intervention, Report Writing, and Firearms Safety.
Explorers also help with community events, crime scene searches, and special details as needed by the department.
Explorers can attend a regional conference each summer where they compete against Law Enforcement Explorers from multiple
states.
Explorers wear a distinguishable uniform, however, do not carry weapons and are not law enforcement officers.
Requirements
- Age 14 – 20
- High school student or graduate
- 2.0 GPA
- Ability to volunteer 10 hours per month
- Pass background investigation
