Explorers may also participate in shooting practice and competition on a regular basis using Glock 17 semi-automatic handguns. Explorers serve at local events, providing crowd control and other services.

After a certain level of training and experience is attained, Explorers will be permitted to ride-along with experienced patrol officers on a regular basis.
