Denver is extending its current 24/7 cold weather shelter activation through 11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 8.
The Denver Police Department operates the largest law enforcement Explorer post in Colorado. The purpose of this program is to expose youth and young adults to a career in law enforcement and help them prepare for a future career in public safety. Our post offers outstanding training which we take very seriously. Every meeting includes training taught by Denver police officers and volunteers.
Our goal is not simply to expose our Explorers to what a career in law enforcement is like, but to take it one step further and help these young people who do decide to go into law enforcement to prepare for their future career. Many of the traits to be a police officer such as honor, integrity, discipline and service are also character traits that lead people to be great citizens and leaders, even if they choose not to join the law enforcement career. As such, many of our Explorers go on to be leaders in any field they choose to enter and are extremely successful.
Application Form(PDF, 401KB)
We accept youth and young adults who meet the following qualifications:
We understand that everyone makes mistakes in life. A minor transgression in an applicant’s past will probably not cause them to fail the background investigation. Patterns of criminal behavior, poor behavior in general, dishonesty, or criminal associations will cause a rejection of the applicant. We will also reject applicants with serious criminal violations, recent or serious drug use, or those who associate with criminals.
