The Tempe Police Department’s Explorer Program is sponsored by the Learning for Life division of the Boy Scouts of America.  The program is for young men and women ages 14-21 who are interested in law enforcement as a possible career.

Explorers are mentored by a team of dedicated Tempe Police Officers who emphasize self-confidence, a strong work ethic, and self-discipline to the participants.  The Explorer Program provides training in a variety of law enforcement topics, participation in local and national skill & knowledge competitions and involvement in community service projects.  We strive for an inclusive group of young men & women who not only believe in themselves but also in giving back to their community.

Participants Must:

¨      Be 14-21 years of age

¨      Attending high school or college & maintaining a “C” or better grade average

¨      Have good moral character

¨      Have no serious driving infractions or criminal record

¨      Demonstrate a willingness to serve others

¨      Attend 3 meetings per month

Meetings are held on Monday evenings from 7:00pm-9:00pm at the Tempe Police Substation located at 8201 S. Hardy Drive (south of Elliot).  There is no cost to join the program.
