Get Involved

Huntington Beach Police ExplorersThe mission of the Huntington Beach Police Explorers Program is to stimulate the interest of today’s youth in law enforcement practices and the Explorer Code of Ethics, to promote self-confidence and responsibility, and to provide specific services to the community. The program is designed for character building, leadership development, teamwork, community service, and good citizenship.

The program provides education and firsthand experience in the field of law enforcement. This co-ed youth program is designed to expose young men and women, ages 14 through 20 (the maximum age to apply is 19), to careers in law enforcement. Through involvement, this program will establish awareness of the complexities of law enforcement services. 

The Police Explorer Program serves as a potential recruitment tool for future men and women in law enforcement and as a community relations effort between the Huntington Beach Police Department, the youth, and the community.
