SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP POLICE EXPLORERS
SINCE 1994
The Springfield Township Police Department, in conjunction with The Boy Scouts of America, sponsors a law enforcement explorer program. This program is open to young men and women between the ages of 14 and 20. The program provides training and education to the members in dealing with all aspects of police work. Members of our Explorer Post meet weekly to learn and practice police procedures.
The explorer program is affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America through its Learning for Life Division. The explorer program is designed to give young men and women actual hands on experience in various areas of Law Enforcement to help them in making career choices in the future. The Springfield Township Police Department Explorer program is an award-winning program that has won several “Overall Best Explorer Post” in tri-state competitions over the past several years. Young men and woman in our post receive practical classroom lessons and training in a number of law enforcement areas from our officers. They also have the opportunity to interact with Springfield Township officers during these training sessions and ride alongs. Many of our explorers have gone into a career in law enforcement, in fact, a number of Springfield Township Police officers have been former explorers from our program. The members of the post compete annually in a competition sponsored by The Boy Scouts of America to demonstrate their efficiency in a number of judged scenarios. Every other year the members of the post compete against approximately 3000 explorers on a national level at the National Law Enforcement Conference, which is sponsored by Learning for Life. As you look at the other tabs on this site, you will see why we are so proud of our past and current members.
