What is Law
Enforcement Exploring?
The intent of law
enforcement exploring is to educate and involve youth in police operations, to
interest them in law enforcement functions whether they enter police work or
not. Through involvement, the law enforcement Explorer program establishes
an awareness of the complexities of police services. Exploring provides the law
enforcement community an opportunity to further an investment in its own future
through relationships with fit and capable young adults. Exploring
furthers each Explorer's education, encourages the Explorer's participation in a
rewarding and productive service activity, and enhances the Explorer's
preparation for future roles as a citizen and community member.
Exploring is the
young adult career education program of Learning for Life for both young men and
women who are 14 and graduates of the eighth grade or 15 through 20 years of
age. Law Enforcement Exploring is a youth development program centered around
Law Enforcement careers. The Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office affords it's
cadets opportunities to experience and become involved in such activities as
crime prevention activities, community policing, traffic control, finger
printing, ride-a-longs, patrol procedures, and connecting activities with high
schools, the court system, and national, state, and local academies. The bottom
line is that Law Enforcement Exploring is action-oriented.
