We have meetings and train 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

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.
