Youth ages 14-20 invited to join Sheriff's Office Explorers program
The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office Career Exploration Program is looking for interested youth to fill vacancies on its post. Law Enforcement Explorers is for students between the ages of 14 (completed 8th grade) and 20. The program is sponsored by local law enforcement agencies to provide career information to youth. It also provides structure and resources to help young adults make ethical choices and achieve their full potential.
Students learn first-hand the duties and responsibilities of police officers. By bringing interested youth and police officers together on a regular basis, the explorers are able to apply the information and tactics they learn in mock situations at the Minnesota Law Enforcement Explorer Conference each April, and at the National Law Enforcement Explorer Conference, which is held every other summer.
These conferences provide the explorers with opportunities to meet with their peers, be exposed to law enforcement agencies at the state and federal levels, and provide the opportunity to receive college scholarship money through their participation in the mock situations.
More information can be found on the MN Law Enforcement Explorer Association website at http://www.mnleexplorer.org/ or by contacting any of the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Explorer Advisors: Deputy Alyssa Schlichting (218) 409-5918, Deputy Sean Clark (218) 481-2913; or Deputy Alex Prouse (218) 390-8908.
