Parents, teachers and law enforcement professionals are constantly seeking ways to expose teenagers to positive values and role models. The Law Enforcement Explorers Program at the Broward Sheriff's Office is a successful example of how adult intervention can instill responsibility, leadership, teamwork and self-reliance. The program works with teens and young adults (14-20 years of age) by allowing them to interact with law enforcement and other community advisors in a serious, regimented atmosphere where the students can demonstrate their personal initiative. The program offers young adults the opportunity to learn and experience lawful citizenship as they participate side-by-side with law enforcement deputies and civilian personnel in ongoing training and community service projects. Explorers receive a wide variety of training, including basic and advanced Law Enforcement Explorer Academy training programs, including, but not limited to, self-defense; patrol procedures; traffic stops; report writing; domestic violence; Florida law; and, arrest procedures.
