Explore What it Means to be a CHP Officer

The CHP Explorer Program offers a unique and challenging opportunity to young men and women to become an integral part of the Department's operations, and experience what a career in law enforcement would be like. Successful completion of the Explorer Program can open many doors and present many opportunities for the youth of tomorrow, especially for an Explorer who is planning to make the CHP a career.

The California Highway Patrol's Explorer Program is designed for young men and women, 15 to 21 years of age. Explorers receive an introduction to police operations, physical fitness training, and basic first aid skills. As an Explorer, assist in community service events, staff DUI checkpoints, participate in a ride-along in the field, and compete in Explorer competitions.

For Explorers who are able to achieve Level III and Level IV training will have the opportunity to attend the CHP Academy in West Sacramento. The program is designed to test the strengths and limitations of a person's intelligence, personality, demeanor and physical abilities, as well as dedication and conviction to the Explorer Program.

You are invited to attend Explorer Post 580 at the CHP West Valley Station located at 5825 De Soto Avenue, Woodland Hills, CA 91367. The open house is scheduled for Saturday, April 30th from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. For questions or to RSVP call (805) 372-1717.
