Welcome to the homepage of the Montgomery County Police Explorers. Based in Rockville, Maryland the post is involved in many community activities assisting the Montgomery County Department of Police in their duties.
Highlights of Explorer Post 1986
The Police Explorers displayed a tremendous spirit of community involvement and civic duty. Explorers proved to be a valuable resource to the Department by assisting in events such as the County Fair, Community Day Parades, charity road races, and Child Fingerprinting. Explorers saved hundreds of police staffing hours.
Explorers have observed and participated in police ride-alongs, by assisting officers in their duties as patrol officers.
The program allows youths the opportunity to develop leadership skills, self-confidence, commitment, and discipline.
Explorers are taught inter-personal skills, coping mechanisms, team building, and conflict resolution.
