Service area
Suffolk County, NY
Coordinated through the Boy Scouts of America. The goal of the Police Explorers program is to provide an immersive career experience within a controlled environment focused on law enforcement. We aim to aid our Explorers in gaining confidence while garnering career readiness as they learn about the purpose, mission, and objectives of law enforcement agencies. Our program consists of training, community service, practical experiences, character development, physical fitness, life skills, leadership opportunities and exposure to multiple law enforcement careers. They conduct community service, provide crime reduction and prevention materials to the public, as well as learn about civic responsibilities and the law enforcement profession from Police Officers who act as advisors and mentors. Exploring is not a boot camp. We are looking for young individuals with a genuine desire to make a difference in the community in a positive way with an interest in pursuing a law enforcement career or a related field in the criminal justice system. Call for detailed information.
