Explorers Program

Law Enforcement Explorer Post 1601

The Mansfield Police Department, in cooperation with Scouts BSA subsidiary Learning for Life, sponsors a Law Enforcement Explorer Post for youth ages 14 to 20 interested in a career in law enforcement.

We use our Pride, Honor and Integrity to create leaders and future law enforcement officers. The post meets every Tuesday evening. For more information, contact our Community Resources Division at 817-276-4725.
