The explorer post is a law enforcement career orientation
program co-sponsored by the Loveland Police Department, Boy Scouts of America
and LEEPAAC. It is a program whereby young adults are allowed to become familiar
and participate in law enforcement activities in a non-hazardous capacity.
Explorer Cadets are acquainted with the ideals, knowledge and philosophies of
law enforcement. The program provides the cadet the opportunity to participate
in community service programs while considering a prospective career in law
enforcement. Explorer Cadets compete in national competitions across the country
testing their acquired law enforcement skills. Explorers assist in directing
traffic, gate security, parking, and other various tasks at special events.
Cadets also ride along with certified police officers in an observation role to
further their knowledge and receive training first hand.
