Carmel Police Explorer Post 382 helps youth explore the possibility of becoming a police officer through education. The program matches the interests of youth with adult expertise. These young adults learn ethical decision making through positive social interaction, leadership development, hands-on experience, problem solving skills, and service to the community. Youth are selected for membership and then attend an eight month police academy training program where they are shown most aspects of police work. Upon completion of the academy phase, the recruit is given a uniform and allowed to ride with a police officer to observe for a day. In addition, Explorers are asked to work certain community functions throughout the year. 

Location: Carmel Police Headquarters; 3 Civic Square, Carmel
