We meet most Tuesday evenings from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. in the Orlando Police Department Auditorium.
The Police department provides opportunities for teens to get an introduction to public safety careers through the Police Explorer program.
The Orlando Police Explorer Program was created in 1974 to develop a positive relationship between police officers and the youth of the community. Police Explorers learn about law enforcement through practical application.
The Orlando Police Explorers meet on a weekly basis and learn about different police functions such as drug enforcement, crime scene investigations, CPR, traffic stops, traffic investigations and all other aspects of law enforcement. The Rider Program allows Explorers ages 16 and older who have passed the necessary training to assist in the 911 Communications Center and ride with community service officers and sworn police officers. Explorers can also be part of the Orlando Police Explorer Honor Guard, responsible for the presentation of the Colors during award ceremonies, parades and other special occasions. The Orlando Police Explorer Post is also involved in over 80 community service events each year. These events range from directing traffic at the Central Florida Fair to McGruff the Crime Dog presentations.
A Police Officer's mission is to protect and serve;
A mission that is sometimes demanding and not without danger;
A mission that often requires an officer to be all things to all people;
A doctor, lawyer, social worker, and more;
A mission that at times seems never ending;
A mission that, for a special few, becomes a career, and if you feel you have what it takes, you may be qualified to wear our "METAL OF HONOR."
