The Richland County Sheriff’s
Department recognizes a need to build strong rapport and professional
relationships with area youth. What is an Explorer Post? An Explorer Post is
fundamentally a Scout group for young adults, male or female, who are
between 14 and 21 years of age and have completed the eighth grade. What do Explorers do? Explorer Post 601 meets twice a month. At these meetings, Explorers are instructed on different topics related to the law enforcement field including: conducting traffic stops; completing paperwork; investigating traffic collisions; serving warrants; legal knowledge; and physical fitness.
Explorers get hands on experience through a variety of scenarios acted out be other Explorers and Post Advisors. Much of the training and instruction is in preparation for the yearly SCALE (South Carolina Association of Law Enforcement Explorers) competition which is held during the summer months. How do I become an Explorer? If you have completed the
eighth grade and are between 14 and 21 years old, and are interested in
the field of Law Enforcement, you may qualify to become a member of
Explorer Post 601. You must have good moral character and be motivated to
learn and participate. |
