Police Explorer Academy
Police Explorer Academy
What Is Law Enforcement Exploring?
Law Enforcement Exploring is a special interest program chartered by the Boy Scouts of America under the "Learning for Life" division. The Explorer Program is designed to give the cadet a working knowledge of the police function within the community, as well as being of service to the Police Department. The bottom line is that Law Enforcement Exploring is an action-oriented, hands-on career discovery program. Former Explorers have gone on to successful careers in law enforcement, college, and the military.
The Elk Grove Police Explorer Post is not a program for at risk youth. An applicant cannot have any arrests and/or convictions for felonies or serious misdemeanors (i.e., domestic violence). An Explorer must be able to work independently and with other Explorers, Explorer supervisors, and police officers. Explorers are held to the same standards as police officers, and they must be able to conduct themselves in a similar manner. An applicant must be reasonably physically fit and be able to stand for long periods and work in various weather conditions.
Explorer Duties
Explorers are expected to volunteer at least 16 hours per month, including four Explorer meetings. Meetings are held from 5:30 to 8:00 PM on the first four Wednesdays of each month.
Other Explorer activities include office work; traffic control at city events such as parades, DUI Checkpoints, and other city events; ride along with patrol officers and dispatchers; participate in academies and competitions; and volunteer at civic events.
The Elk Grove Police Explorer Program is strictly voluntary, and, as such, is not subject to financial compensation.

1) Junior Coach (Girls in grades 10–12) – Spring Volunteer Opportunity – begins the first week of March and goes through Saturday, May 9
Junior coaches (10th–12th graders) serve as co-coaches for a team of up to 15 girls, alongside an adult coach. Over an 8-week season, junior coaches help lead two 90-minute practices per week using our fun, empowering curriculum that teaches girls about friendship, standing up for yourself and others, “I Can” power, and more—all while working toward completing a celebratory 5K at the end of the season.
No running experience is required—junior coaches simply need a positive attitude and a desire to support and encourage younger girls.
2) Celebratory 5K Volunteer (Available to all genders and grades) – One-Day Opportunity
Students can also volunteer at our celebratory Girls on the Run 5K on Saturday, May 9 at Land Park. This is a one-time volunteer opportunity and, depending on the role, can provide up to 5 hours of volunteer service. Volunteer roles include set up/tear down, finish line support, water station help, cheering along the course, face painting, and more.
Both opportunities can count as volunteer hours. If students (or families) are interested or have questions, please contact:
