In addition, several other police officers serve as advisors to the Post and assist with training and supervision. During the first year, new members are introduced into the field of law enforcement. Utilizing experts within the Department, a portion of every meeting is devoted to training in the various aspects of police work. After successfully completing one year, the Police Explorer is assigned to a District Station where he or she participates in a Field Experience Program. Police Explorers are not just observers but actively participate in community affairs to ensure the safety of their families and fellow citizens.
Explorers become involved by assisting officers on patrol duty.
Police Explorers are considered volunteer assistants to police officers. Insurance is provided to cover the Explorers while in training and on details. Most of the uniform and equipment are provided, however, a small portion must be furnished by the individual Explorer. In addition to law enforcement related duties, the Explorers plan a number of social and recreational activities during the year. Law Enforcement Exploring has proven to be a good vocational prepatory tool for youth and the nation.
