The New Hope Police Explorer Post 915 is a career interest program for young men and women between the ages of 14 and 21. Exploring provides training and skill development related to a career in Law Enforcement and allows a close-up view of what police officers do on a daily basis.
Explorers are encouraged to ride along with an officer once a month and to help with police sponsored events such as Duk Duk Daze, Bike Rodeo, and Safety Camp. Meetings focus on training for the types of calls to which police officers regularly respond. Each year the Explorers have an opportunity to attend the annual state conference, currently held in Rochester, where they compete against other explorers from around the state in the various scenarios they have been trained in.
The Explorer program is also and excellent opportunity to improve personal communication and other skills required for a future career in any field.
