EXPLORER POST 2045
Since 1987, the Adams County Sheriff's Office, in affiliation with the Boy Scouts of America and Learning for Life, has sponsored Explorer Post 2045 for young people between the ages of 15 and 21, giving them an opportunity to work with professionals in law enforcement. It is a youth organization chartered to educate and involve youth in law enforcement operations, to build their interest in possible law enforcement careers, to serve the needs of the public through community service activities, and to build mutual understanding.
The Adams County Sheriff's Office provides an environment that fosters the ideals, knowledge, and philosophy of the law enforcement profession and provides opportunities for interested young people to serve the Sheriff's Office, as well as the community.
The Explorer Post is a self-governing body, overseen and counseled by a committee of volunteer adult advisors. The Explorer Post and its programs provide for education, practical experience, community service, fostering individual personalities, and developing maturity.
