 The explorer Program is for
career-oriented young adults aged 14 through 21. Members are referred to
as "Explorer" and, while the program is part of the BSA, the Explorer
program is distinctively different from scouting. Explorer is a
co-educational, young-adult program developed and supervised by local
community organizations, businesses and individuals providing an
opportunity for young adults to explore a particular career field.
The Emmett Township Public Safety Explorer Program
This Explorer Post is sponsored by the Emmett Township
Department of Public Safety as a community-based policing
program. This successful program is designed to educate and involve
young men and women in police operations and to interest them in law
enforcement functions whether they enter the law enforcement field or
not.
As an Explorer, young adults have the opportunity to assist the
Emmett Public Safety Department. Explorers can broaden their
understanding and firsthand knowledge of the challenges and job skills
that make up their community's police service. In addition to gaining a
working knowledge of police work, the participants have the opportunity
to give of themselves to their community. Although This Post is
law enforcement and Fire Department oriented, Explorers are volunteers
and do not serve as Public Safety employees, sworn or civilian.
