Dearborn Police Explorer Post 1177

Dearborn Police Explorers need your help!!

Please donate to support this great program!

The Dearborn Police Explorer Post is a group of young adults between the ages of 14 & 21 who are interested in learning about law enforcement, leadership and giving back to the community.  Our Explorers meet every Tuesday to learn and experience many things related to law enforcement.  In addition to the knowledge they gain from classroom lectures and scenario training they are often observed in the community assisting with many events.  So far year to date the Dearborn Police Explorers have donated over 7,500 volunteer hours to the community.  This organization is 100% self-funded and relies on donations.

The Dearborn Police Explorer Post is asking for your help!  Every two years there is a National Explorer Training Conference held at a location within the United States.  In July 2016 the National Explorer Training Conference will be held in Flagstaff, Arizona.  Our goal is to send 6 Explorers and 2 Police Advisors to the weeklong conference.  At this fantastic event, Explorers will compete in teams with over 300 other Police Explorer post from around the country in various law enforcement graded events.  They will also receive training, attend career fairs, and have the opportunity to compete in individual competitions.  Finally, we hope to be able to provide our Explorers with some sightseeing and extra circular activities. 

   For many of our Explorers this will be the first time experiencing an event like this. As you may imagine the cost is high to send 8 members to Flagstaff, Arizona for a week. We estimate the total cost of the event/trip will be around $11,000. This cost includes registration, airfare, vehicle rental, hotel, food and incidentals.  We would like to send the Explorers with as little out of pocket cost as possible. This is why we are asking for your HELP!  Please consider making a donation to the Dearborn Police Explorer Post.  No matter the amount, every bit will help!  Thank you!
