Police Explorers at Your Event

We often receive requests for our Explorers to attend and/or assist at public events. Explorer Post 110 stands ready to meet those requests as best we can!  Please complete and submit your request form through this link Police Explorer Request Form. Your application should be submitted at least 30 days prior to the event so we can consider it and add it to our calendar. Once we receive your submission we will contact you within five business days. Although the department attempts to honor community requests, we cannot grant Explorers for all events.
