In emergency situations they provide communications and support to local police departments. Explorers are involved in search and rescue operations with the State Police Dive Team, missing persons, aircraft crashes, and more. Explorers get to go to the Vermont Police Academy in Pittsford, VT for a week in July every year. This is not a summer camp, but it is a lot of fun. Explorers experience real life drama through a shadow program called the Explorer Ride Along program.
Explorers spend entire shifts with patrol officers while on patrol.
