Learning to "Protect and Serve" 

 

Are you interested in a future career in law enforcement? 

 

If you are then the Kent Police Explorer Program is for you! 

 

The Kent Police Department Explorer Post is designed to provide exciting and challenging training along with on the job experience for young people interested in a career in law enforcement. The Explorers participate in many phases of police work, but are not placed in dangerous situations. They may also ride-a-long with police officers. The Police Explorer Program is one of the best ways for youth to become involved with their community in a positive way and learn about law enforcement at the same time. We are affiliated with the Learning for Life program, and WLEEA, the Washington Law Enforcement Exploring Advisors.
