Explorer Post 411 is a volunteer organization sponsored by Learning for Life and the Boy Scouts of America. It is open to young men and women between 14.5 and 21 years of age.

Exploring enables participants to examine the law enforcement field by participating in training in law enforcement techniques and procedures through community service and ride-alongs with Police Officers. The program is intended to encourage interest in a law enforcement career while helping to build character and to foster self-confidence, self-discipline, and goal-setting. The program is staffed by Police Officers, and are held bi-weekly at the Police Department.

Additional training is provided through a yearly summer academy, held for one week. Membership in the Post is contingent upon successful completion of the academy within one year of acceptance into the program.
