Youth interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement.
The goal of the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office Explorer Program is to create new inroads of understanding between youth, law enforcement, and the community. Explorer cadets receive extensive training and then actively participate in community affairs and non-hazardous law enforcement activities. Subjects such as community relations, criminal law, demeanor, firearms, safety, narcotics control, police procedures, and weaponless defense will be taught. All trainees are required to undergo drill and physical training as well as their classwork. All training is conducted at the main Sheriff's Office.
