The SRO position encompasses three major components allowing the SRO to achieve this goal - law enforcement, education, and counseling. These 3 components allow the SRO to take a proactive approach to law enforcement. They teach law related education and other relevant topics, they counsel students on various concerns, provide a safe, secure campus and are involved in the student's lives as a positive role model. The intent is that the positive experiences officers have with the students will bridge the gap between law enforcement and the youth of our community. The Beachside Police Explorers are currently accepting applications for membership.
Explorers are a group of young men and women who have an interest in Law Enforcement.
These young people have an opportunity through Exploring to encounter the same training, duties, and experiences as real police officers. Exploring is a division of the Boy Scouts of America and is the only co-educational unit of the Boy Scouts. The Beachside Police Explorers are co-sponsored by the Indialantic Police Department and the Satellite Beach Police Department. The Explorers meet once a week at one of the police department's facilities. There the Explorers conduct a business meeting and are given instruction in areas such as Marine Patrol operations, dive rescue, traffic enforcement, and other areas of law enforcement.
