Law Enforcement Explorer Program

The Law Enforcement Explorer Program recruits students between the ages of 14 and 21 who have an interest in law enforcement. As a Law Enforcement Explorer, you can learn about law enforcement and assist deputies with a variety of non-hazardous assignments such as: Search missions, crowd assistance, station support, crime prevention, training, report writing, public fingerprinting, and bicycle licensing. You may also ride-along in a patrol car with a deputy sheriff and see the rigors of the job first hand.

Explorers also go on outings and tours. They compete against other Explorer posts in a number of law enforcement situations (scenarios). They experience camping trips, boating, river rafting, trips to the beach, and many other adventures.

If a student wants to get a head start on their law enforcement career, than this is the place to start. To be an Explorer, you must have an interest in law enforcement, maintain a “C” average in school, have good moral character, be a leader, and be willing to follow the directions of other Explorers and Deputy Sheriffs.

If being a Law Enforcement Explorer sounds like something you would like to be a part of, stop by the Industry Sheriff’s Station and pick-up an application. If you have any questions, please contact Station Explorer Post Advisor Deputy Jim Bickel at (626) 934-3315.
