Who can be a Police Explorer?
If you are interested in becoming a Police Explorer, you must be 14 ½ to 20 years old. If you are under the age of 18 you need parental consent to participate in the Explorer Program. You should have a general interest and appreciation for law enforcement. You must have and maintain a cumulative Grade Point Average of 2.0 or better, be of good moral character, abstain from using alcohol and drugs and must not have a felony or misdemeanor conviction. Background investigations as well as involvement with local School Resource Officers (SROs) are performed to be sure the candidate will be able to join the program. The Police Department recruits quarterly for the Post. The first step is the written application to be submitted. If you attain a passing score the process is followed by an oral interview and a background investigation. If you are accepted into the program you will remain a probationary Explorer for three months and will be allowed to participate in limited certain activities.
