Details:
The Law Enforcement Explorers program provides young men and women with an introduction to a career in law enforcement or a related field in the criminal justice system. The program, geared for ages 14 through 21, often results in strengthening ties between the community and police. Explorers are taught the importance of higher education, self-discipline, and respect for diversity and human dignity through training, involvement in community service projects, and other Exploring events. Explorers assist the Police Department at various events, such as parades, Olustee Festival, County Fair, etc, as well as participate in training programs and ride-alongs.
Application deadline to attend this year's academy is 7/24/2018.
If deadline is missed, aspiring Explorers may still participate in monthly meetings and events until the next Explorers Academy is held.
The Police Explorers Academy is free of charge.
Explorers are provided with their uniforms and accessories. New explorers must provide a pair of khaki pants, boots or black pair of polishable shoes, and department approved polo shirt. Monthly dues are $5. However, dues are waived for those Explorers that participate in fund raising.
