Seminole County Sheriffs Office Explorer Post 517

Explorer Post 517 provides the opportunity for young adults, ages 14-21, to gain an insight into Law Enforcement as a possible career field.

The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office Explorer Program is a branch of the Seminole County Police Athletic League. Our goal is not only to provide an understanding of Law Enforcement, but also to look at the many segments of Law Enforcement as a possible profession. As a member of Explorer Post 517 you will have the opportunity to participate in community service activities throughout Seminole County as well as working with Deputies and other employees of the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.
