The intent of the Owensboro Police Department law enforcement explorer post 766 is to educate high school and college students between the ages of 14 to 20 who are interested in a career in the field of law enforcement. In practical exercises based on Police situations, the students learn what the dedicated professionals that serve and protect this community face on a daily basis. The Explorers also utilize their knowledge in structured competitions held on a regional and local level, allowing a unique networking opportunity.
