Only those individuals that are serious about a career in law enforcement, may attend the third year, which is called Leadership Academy. This is limited to 20 cadets. You start as an explorer. After completing high school, you may become a senior cadet. Explorers wear uniforms when on duty.
Some explorers choose to purchase new or used uniforms.
Meetings are every other Thursday evening from 1830 to 2000 hours. The topics range from motor vehicle stops, domestic violence, and crime scenes, to name a few. Once a year, on the first Thursday in April, the Explorers host an open house at the Police Department. This is promoted a month in advance in the local media. The evening is designed to provide you with an overview of the Exploring Program, a tour of the Station and to meet Advisors and Explorers.
