Explorer Program
For over 30 years, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department has supported an active Explorer Post Program for young persons between the ages 14 and 21. Law Enforcement Exploring is a division of the Boy Scouts of America that gives you a hands-on look at what a career in law enforcement is really like.

Community Service
Explorers serve the community in various ways such as directing traffic at special events, crime prevention programs and light security details.
Ride-Alongs
Once you become eligible, you can participate in the ride-a-long program. You become an extra set of eyes and ears for the officers and assist them on various calls.
Meetings
The Post meets weekly or bi-weekly (depending on the post), to discuss Explorer business and upcoming events.
