What is Exploring?
Exploring is a worksite-based program. It is part of Learning for Life's career education program for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years old.

Exploring's purpose is to provide experiences that help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities.

Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and the organizations in their communities. Local community organizations initiate a specific Explorer post by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, and develop.

Exploring programs are based on five areas of emphasis: career opportunities, life skills, service learning, character education, and leadership experience.

Many different fields of work have explorer posts. Aside from law enforcement, explorer posts exist in the medical, legal, aviation, fire prevention, and business fields.

Roswell Police Explorer Post 10
is known for its intensive training and impressive competition record. To date, Post 10 has won more than 16 trophies at various competitions nationwide. Each year Post 10 attends explorer competitions in Gatlinburg, TN, Augusta, GA, and Alpharetta, GA. Every two years, Post 10 attends the National Law Enforcement Explorer Conference, held in a different city each year. In addition, the Roswell Police Explorers assist in all major city functions with crowd/traffic control and security. Post 10 Explorers provided security at the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games Coors Festival, the Historic Roswell Criterium, and year after year, assist in the city's annual Youth Day Parade, March of Dimes Walk America, Habitat for Humanity Walk on Home, and Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration--just to name a few events. After a probationary period, and extensive training, explorers are permitted to ride with Roswell Police officers on a shift of their choice.

Roswell is home to nearly 85,000 residents, and is located 25 miles northeast of Atlanta
