The Sunnyvale Public Safety Explorer Post 417 may be for you. This Explorer Post was established to enhance the relationship between City youth and the Public Safety Department. The program includes meetings, workshops, ride-alongs, and community service. Police procedures such as investigations, communications, first aid, and fingerprinting are all part of the training program.
Explorers also participate in fire training, ride-alongs, and respond to fire emergencies.
The Sunnyvale Explorers meet twice a month at Public Safety Headquarters. The Explorers have the opportunity to attend national conferences and leadership training academies. The Explorers also assist the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety in community-wide events such as the annual Art and Wine Festival. Explorers meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month. Anyone who is between 14 and 20 years old is welcome to come and check out what the explorers do.
