The
Winter Haven Police Department has opened the Explorers program

are 14 years of age or are 15 years of age but have not yet
reached their 21st birthday. Law Enforcement Explorer posts
help youth to gain insight into a variety of programs that offer
hands-on career activities. For young men and women who
are interested in careers in the field of law enforcement,
Exploring offers experiential learning with lots of fan-filled,
hands-on activities that promote the growth and development of
adolescent youth.
All
Explorer applicants must meet the following requirements:

free of any mental or physical disabilities which would limit
participation or place the program and its members in jeopardy of any
civil liability

What can l expect as a Law Enforcement
Explorer?
You can expect to have fun, learn a lot about the field of law
enforcement, and to meet some really great people who are interested in
helping you learn about the career field that you are interested in.
When you become a certified Explorer you will be given a class A uniform
which is similar to that of the police officer.
