Explorer Post 313 is sponsored by
the Evansville Police Department as a community-based policing
program. This successful program is designed to educate and involve
young men and women in police operations and to interest them in law
enforcement functions whether they enter the law enforcement field or
not.
As an Explorer, young adults have the
opportunity to assist the Evansville Police Department. Explorers can
broaden their understanding and firsthand knowledge of the challenges
and job skills that make up their community's police service. In
addition to gaining a working knowledge of police work, the
participants have the opportunity to give of themselves to their
community. Although Post 313 is law enforcement oriented,
Explorers are volunteers and do not serve as police employees, sworn
or civilian.

Be between the ages of 14-21 years (14 years old

hope for the future lies in the youth of today." This
philosophy led the Boy Scouts of America to develop its
Explorer Division for career-oriented young adults aged 14
through 20. Members are referred to as "Explorer"
and, while the program is part of the BSA, the Explorer
program is distinctively different from scouting.
Explorer is a co-educational, young-adult program developed
and supervised by local community organizations, businesses
and individuals providing an opportunity for young adults to
explore a particular career field.
