Tucson Police Explorers
We meet usually twice per month for four hours at the Tucson Police
Department Main Station located downtown at 270 S. Stone Avenue.

Once a year the Explorer Program offers a one-week training course
at the Tucson Police Academy. There, Explorers study Law
Enforcement techniques and build physical fitness.

Explorers also compete at several Regional Explorer competitions
located around the Southwest.

What we do:


The Tucson Police Explorer Post is not a program for "at risk youth".  
It is a program designed to teach leadership skills, teamwork,
discipline and service related to the field of Law Enforcement. An
applicant cannot have any arrests and/or convictions for felonies or
serious misdemeanors. Explorers must be able to work well
independently as well as a member of a team.
