Youth meet regularly to learn about law enforcement and obtain life skills. This is the official fan page of the Salt Lake City Police Department Explorers. If you need police response, please call 911 in an emergency or (801) 799-3000 in a non-emergency. The requirements to join:
- Membership in a law enforcement Explorer Post is open to young adults ages 14 to 20.
- Parental approval is required
, which includes signatures by the Explorer and his/her parents on a general liability release form.
- A check of the applicant’s background to determine that the individual has not been convicted of a serious crime or is guilty of moral turpitude.
- A scholastic standard requiring minimum grades for entry (2.0 or higher GPA) and no serious school discipline record.
- Law enforcement Explorer Posts have open membership, with care being given to checking the applicant’s records. The ability of a Post to be effective depends on the quality of the individuals involved.
