LASD Explorer Academy Accepting Applications

Lancaster Sheriff's Station is excited to announce we are accepting applications for the upcoming Explorer's Academy!

The LASD Explorer Academy is an 18 week academy aimed at teens that are aspiring for a career in law enforcement. Participants will learn responsibility, multi-tasking and coping skills as well as hands on experience in basic law enforcement duties. Teens will be challenged in number of ways and graduate the program with lifelong memories and experiences.

The Explorer Academy will begin on March 19th and will run for 18 consecutive Saturdays at our station. This is two weeks later than our anticipated start date from when we first announced the upcoming academy. This will also extend the application deadline by two weeks.

The requirements are as follows:

Teens must be 14-20 years old

Have a G.P.A. of 2.0 or higher

Have strong integrity and character

No serious criminal record/probation

Must pass drug screening

Must submit to background check

Must be able to attend Thursday evening Post meetings upon completion of Academy.

Applications are available for pick up in the Lancaster Station lobby.

For more information or if you have any questions about the Explorer Program, please contact Deputy Thom via email at mjthom@lasd.org or by phone at (661) 940-3822.

Applications will be accepted until February 25, 2022.

Don't let your teen miss out on being a part of this incredible program!
