For young people who are interested in a career in law enforcement, the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office is recruiting for its next session of the Explorer Post #2004.
The Post is for high school and college students between the ages of 15 and 21. Participants will receive weekly training in law enforcement-related topics. There will also be job shadowing and a week-long summertime youth police academy.
Applicants to the program must live in St. Clair County or attend a St. Clair County school. They should exhibit good moral character, be in good physical and mental health, have no criminal record, and pass a background investigation.
Those accepted to the program will learn about traffic stops, traffic crash investigation, firearms, and building searches. The program is described as a “stepping stone” to a career in law enforcement.
Interested students can contact Detective Kelsey Wade to apply.
Contact kwade@stclaircounty.org or cwilczak@stclaircounty.org for an application.
