Who We Are
Getting Youth Involved with Law Enforcement
Law Enforcement Exploring is a part of the Boys Scouts of America (BSA) "Learning for Life" program. It is designed to acquaint young people with the nature and complexity of law enforcement.
What We Do
The goals and objectives of the Plano Law Enforcement Explorer program are to further the Explorer's education, encourage the Explorer's participation in a wide variety of community service activities, and enhance the Explorer's preparation for future roles as citizens, community members, leaders, and potential future law enforcement officers.
Applicant Restrictions & Requirements
Both male and female young adults are encouraged to join. To become a member of the Explorer Post Number 9-1-1 you must be between the ages of 14 and 20 years of age, have parental permission if under the age of 17 and be enrolled in a high school, and maintain a "C" average in each subject. In addition, you must pass a thorough background check and a structured review board as well as complete the Basic Explorer Training program. Explorers are volunteers and are not commissioned as sworn peace officers and have no enforcement authority beyond that of any citizen.
