Explorers are a part of the Boy Scouts of America under their Learning for Life Program. The Post allows young men and women the opportunity to explorer and learn about a career in the criminal justice field while serving as volunteer aides within SPD. Explorers are 16 – 21 years old (and have completed 8th grade). They must maintain a 2.5 GPA in their school. Explorers are required to attend monthly training meetings and commit to volunteering 16 hours a month. Statewide Explorer academies are held biannually and the Explorer is required to attend one a year. Explorers are trained for State/Regional/National competitions; actors for SWAT/TAC teams; crowd control at civic events; leadership, marching, shooting, and learn of career opportunities at the federal, state and local level.
