The Law Enforcement Explorer Academy is a five-day residential career education program providing Explorers with practical, hands-on law enforcement and life-skills training. The academy is presented in a structured and highly disciplined environment, much like that found in police and military recruit training centers. Officers from area law enforcement agencies with support from Gulf Stream Council staff provide instruction and supervision.
There will also be demonstrations and classroom instruction on police related topics. Participants will explore the many duties of the law enforcement profession and its different specialty units. Explorers should expect many physical and mental challenges. The academy will also encourage and develop positive decision-making skills. These will be taught through scenario-based training opportunities and experiential learning. Explorers can expect to rise each morning at approximately 5:30 a.m. and retire at about 9:00 p.m. each night. The days are full and active.
This will be a realistic training experience. The academy is modeled on military style boot camps. Drill instructors will interact loudly with the participants and full participation is expected from all who attend. There is a two-tier program at the academy. First time attendees will be placed in the Level I group with a basic curriculum. Graduates of previous years’ programs will be placed in the Level II group with a more advance curriculum.
