Explorers Program Seeks Applicants In Culver City

CULVER CITY, CA — The Culver City Police Department is seeking teen applicants, age 14 to 19, for its Explorers Program, that begins in September.

During the 12-week Basic Explorer Academy, enrollees learn life and leadership skills and gain opportunities for future law enforcement careers.

Upon graduation, explorers have the opportunity to work alongside Culver City officers during special events, assist with station duties, participate in ride-alongs, field trips, and potentially earn community service credit.

Sessions are held at the El Camino Community College in Torrance, with transportation provided from the Culver City police.

Youth qualifications include: at least a “C” school average (GPA: 2.0 or better); good moral character without any serious arrest record; good physical health; and passing background investigations and oral interviews.

The academy is hosted twice a year, usually beginning in February and September.
