Police Explorers

The Law Enforcement Explorer program is designed to provide local youth some hands-on experience in the areas of criminal justice and law enforcement. Explorers do not need the desire to become law enforcement officers to join. Club participation is open to young men and women in sixth, seventh, and eighth grades who are at least 10 years old but and are not yet 15 years old. Post participation is open to youth 14 to 20 years old. Applicants to the post must have graduated from eighth grade

Who can be an C.P.D. Explorer?

• You are between the ages of 10 and 20

• You are free from physical limitations that might prevent you from completing any duty assignment

• You have no felony convictions

Clewiston Police Explorers participate in training sessions that are overseen by law enforcement advisors. The topics of these meetings include, but are not limited to, arrest and control, criminal law, criminal procedure, physical fitness, and more. 

Any Explorer over the age of 16 who is in good standing with the Explorer Program is eligible to ride-along as an observer with a police officer. This experience allows Explorers to be exposed first-hand to what police work is really like. Additionally, Clewiston Explorers provide role players to many training events throughout the region.
