Explorer Post 331

was organized in 1971 to bring together Law Enforcement Explorers from around the State of Florida. Our organization serves as a conduit to unite Explorers and allow them to learn about law enforcement as a career. is a youth run program, which reaches out to young males and females between the ages of 14-21, and allows them the opportunity to become leaders within the organization. We believe as

an organization that the youth who are influenced today will become the law enforcement officers of tomorrow. The Explorer Program is not limited only to those interested in law enforcement as a career. Explorers receive a better understanding of law enforcement in general. This information is beneficial no matter what career path is chosen. Activities Explorers Engage In:
