Resume:
Delaware- What are the Explorers and what do they do?

Our program consists of young men and women who have an interest in Law Enforcement. We participate in fingerprinting young children at community events; work the missing children’s area at the State Fair, and many more community events. We also offer opportunities for the National Law Enforcement Exploring Conference and the Federal Leadership Academies.

We teach a variety of police procedures including fingerprinting, evidence collection, and patrol procedures. We strive to lead them down the right path and stand as positive role models. We also plan to instill leadership, responsibility, integrity, and commitment.

We have minimum qualifications of mature, clean cut, clean shaven, 2.0 and above GPA, and no criminal convictions. This is not a discipline program. The age range is 14-20 years of age and at least in 9th grade. The program consists of high school and college students. All interested students should be prepared to submit a $50.00 program registration fee at the Open House. You will also need a copy of last year’s grades. If you are under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must be present to sign the registration.

We hope to see you at our Open House so we can explain more about our program and how to become a Delaware State Police Explorer.
