The Plantation Police Explorers Post is a community service-oriented program aimed at young adults, aged 14-21 who have a GPA (grade point average) of 2.0 or higher and are of good moral character.

It allows these potential Law Enforcement recruits the opportunity to observe law enforcement professionals while they perform their daily duties. Additionally, the Plantation Police Department Explorers contribute numerous hours of volunteer service to their community.

The Plantation Police Explorers compete against other explorers in both State and local competitions. Without exception they place among the top in all events. The Plantation Police Explorers Post was honored as Police Explorer Post of the Year for 1999. These continued accomplishments are due to the dedication of the Explorers and their police officer advisors.

The Plantation Police Explorer Post participated in the 2003 State Police Explorer Competition in St. Petersburg from June 22-28, 2003. Our competition team challenged explorer post from a variety of local police, sheriffs, and federal law enforcement agencies.

The explorers competed in the following scenarios: In-Progress - Bank Robbery, Felony Traffic Stop, Bomb Threat at a Sensitive Location, Traffic Crash - Fatal Pedestrian, Crisis Intervention, Search and Arrest, and Crime Scene.

Once again we are proud to announce that they were awarded 1st Place State Champions for the second year in a row.
