If your 14 to 20 years old in High School and are interested in becoming a Police Officer we are looking for you! Officers just completed recruitment at Sturgeon Bay High School and had a great turn out by kids interested in the newly formed Lakeshore Police Explorer Post 9368. Throughout this month Officers will be going to surrounding schools in Kewaunee and Door County recruiting kids to join in on the fun.
There will be an informational meeting for all of the current Police Explorers and new ones October 19th 2011 at the Sturgeon Bay High School auditorium. The meeting will run from 7 PM to 9PM and parents are encouraged to attend with any questions they might have about the program. If you are wondering what the Police Explorer program is about the following is a brief summary of what it offers:
The Explorer Post is designed for groups of young men and women ages 14 through 20, to get hands-on experience in the law enforcement career. Monthly meetings are held to show students the different aspects of law enforcement and what duties and responsibilities the student would have if he/she chose this career. The program includes presentations and hands-on activities in the following areas:
- Traffic stops
- Accident scenes
- Crime scenes
- Traffic control
- Drug investigation
- Jail/Communications
- Etc.
Police Explorers wear uniforms to the monthly meetings and also at public functions. Explorers may be used for public functions such as parades, fairs, and community programs. At these functions, Explorers may be asked to do traffic control, give out information to the public, or help agencies within the county and the programs they have. The Explorer Post is a non-profit organization that runs on donations and fundraisers held by the members.
