The Sheriff's Department Explorer Program, sponsored in cooperation with Boy
Scouts of America, provides an excellent opportunity for young men and women
who are considering law enforcement as a career. These young people, who range
in age from 16 to 21 are a volunteer force, each giving at least 20 hours a
month to the program. They are supervised by a deputy sheriff assigned to the
Poway Sheriff's Station.
Explorers attend a condensed version of a law enforcement academy and are
required to purchase their own uniforms. At the Poway Station, the Explorers
gain experience with ride-along observation assignments and additional training
with the regular deputies. They also assist with many special events that occur
throughout the year in Poway. |
