The Explorer program is a youth program for young men and women, ages 14 -21 years old, interested in a career in law enforcement. The program offers young adults personal knowledge of the criminal justice system through training, practical experiences, competition, and other activities. Additionally, the program promotes personal growth through character development, respect for the rule of law, physical fitness, good citizenship, and patriotism. Our Explorers receive weekly training, ride-along with deputies, volunteer in the community, learn about the criminal justice system, and attend a three weeklong Explorer Police Academy. Anyone interested in joining the program can contact the Fillmore Police Department, or your local police agency.
