What are the Police Explorers?
The Explorers learn the basics of policing, including law, patrol techniques, communications and other police related duties. Explorers participate in hands-on law enforcement duties with Easton Police officers, including ride-alongs with patrol officers. The Explorers also spend time with the community at many community events in the capacity of representing the Easton Police Department. They assist with parking and traffic control at various events under the supervision of a police officer.

In cooperation with the Easton Volunteer Emergency Medical Service, (EEMS), the Explorers are trained in CPR and other first aid techniques. We hope that this training may very well encourage some future volunteers for Easton EMS.

The Explorer will be required to attend regular meetings that will include organizational matters, training, and most of all, some quality time spent with the police officers and other public safety personnel. In November, 2003, Easton Explorer Post 2001 went on a trip to Washington DC. All the members were treated to a tour of the monuments, museums and Capitol area by Chief Solomon's son, John Solomon. The highlight of the trip was an exclusive visit to the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Explorers were able to tour the state of the art facilities and even eat lunch with FBI agents and trainees.
More trips are planned.

The Easton Police Explorer program is run by the members themselves under the direction of a group of Police Officer advisors. This gives the Explorer post the freedom to perform and participate in activities which interest them as a group, and allow them to develop the program as they see fit.

If you are interested in joining, feel free to stop by any of our Explorer Post meetings or the Easton Police Department. Call for the upcoming Explorer Post Agenda. To find out more information, contact one of our advisors!
