The mission of any Explorer Post under The Boy Scouts of America is to enrich youth that are interested in a particular career field. The Police Explorers provide insight into modern law enforcement, and the opportunity to train along side real Lakemoor Police Officers on a weekly basis; as well as volunteer at community events.
