Police Explorers
Interested in exciting and fun opportunities in law enforcement? Fort Collins Police Services offers training and experience for youth and young adults ages 15 to 20 through the Police Explorer program (20 or older? See below).
The Fort Collins Police Explorer program acquaints young people with the field of law enforcement as a future career choice. Explorers receive ongoing police training through instruction, hands-on practical exercises, and valuable real world experiences. Police Explorers not only receive training but regularly assist patrol officers with their duties. Police Explorers are required to attend regular meetings and training sessions.
Police Explorer requirements include:
- must be at least 15 years old but no older than 20;
- must be a citizen of the United States and a resident of Larimer County
- must possess a valid Colorado driver's license or permit
- must pass a background check
