Explorer Post #66

The mission of the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office Explorer Post 66 is to offer young men and women an insight into law enforcement as a career.  Young men and women

age 14 through 20 who have no criminal background, who are in high school and maintain at least a “C” grade average, or who are high school graduates (or hold GED certificates), and who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent resident aliens residing full-time in the United States, are eligible for membership.

Explorers are trained to assist Dispatchers, Detention Officers, and Clerks.  They are also trained to assist Deputies with low risk enforcement tasks such as traffic direction.  They also graciously volunteer their time to perform traffic control at parades, assist with security at the Yuma County Fair and fingerprint children for the “Kiddie Print” program.  They participate in fund-raisers with other Explorer scouts and are permitted to ride with Deputies as Civilian Observers.

Meetings

Meetings are generally held on Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m. at the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office. Meetings are conducted to discuss special events/details and upcoming training. Parents are encouraged to attend the first two meetings and discuss any questions they might have.
