Explorer Program

What is Exploring?

Exploring is a nationally recognized career education program chartered through Learning for Life for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years old. The purpose of the NJSP Explorer Program is to provide information and experiences to young men and women who are interested in a possible law enforcement career. To accomplish this, NJSP Explorer Post #846 utilizes a hands on training approach while providing curriculum and experiences that help young people mature while establishing an awareness of the complexities of law enforcement. Regular post meetings are held throughout the state, where Explorers practice military drill, learn about law enforcement topics, develop teamwork through problem solving, and regularly participate in community service details. Membership within the program is contingent upon the Explorer adhering to the rules and regulations found within the NJSP Explorer Manual and the paramilitary organizational style approach.
