The Carmel Police Department in
conjunction with the Boy Scouts of America offers an opportunity to
youth between the ages of 14 and 21 to join Explorer Post 382. 
Carmel Police
Explorer Post 382 helps youth explore the possibility of becoming a
Police officer through education. The program matches the interests of
youth with adult expertise.
The purpose of the
Explorer program is to provide experiences to help young people mature
and to become responsible and caring adults. These young adults
learn ethical decision making through positive social interaction,
leadership development, hands-on experience, problem solving skills,
and service to the community.
Youth are selected
for membership and then attend an eight month police academy training
program, where they are shown most aspects of police work. Upon
completion of the academy phase, the recruit is given a uniform and
allowed to ride with a police officer to observe for a day. In
addition, explorers are asked to work certain community functions
throughout the year.
New recruit classes start in the fall
of each year, however an individual can join at anytime. The meetings
are held at the Carmel Police Department on the second and fourth
Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. For more information contact one
of the advisors above!
