The Lubbock Police Explorers
The Explorer Post
is sponsored by the Lubbock Police Department 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 Lubbock Police 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 the Explorer Post is law enforcement
oriented, Explorers are volunteers and do not serve as police employees, sworn
or civilian.
