Q:

A:

The goal of the El Dorado Explorer Program is to provide career insights into the criminal justice field and is directed principally toward law enforcement. This goal is achieved by fulfilling the following specific objectives;

1. To provide training designated to teach the basic knowledge of a law enforcement explorer.

2. To provide non hazardless law enforcement experience to those young persons who have demonstrated sufficient interest by active participation in explorer activities.

3. To provide quality candidates for community service officer, deputy sheriff, correctional officer or other law enforcement or other law enforcement positions from young people in the community.

These objectives are to be achieved by individual responsibility. Identification and development of individual explorer leadership qualities is a primary concern of this program.
