Law Enforcement Exploring is a worksite-based program for young men and women
who have completed the eighth grade and are 14 years of age, or are 15 years of age
but have not yet reached their 21st birthday.

learning with lots of fun-filled, hands-on activities that promote the growth
and development of adolescent youth.
