Teens Invited to Explore Law Enforcement Careers Through Local Police Explorer Program

The Lake Forest Park Police Department launches its Explorers Program on May 8, 2025, inviting teens to explore careers in law enforcement. This program emphasizes physical fitness, leadership skills, and community involvement, encouraging young adults to actively participate in local events such as National Night Out. The King County Sheriff’s Office supports the initiative, recognizing its role in developing future law enforcement professionals. Participants will engage in hands-on experiences that include emergency response training and community service projects. The program aims to strengthen the relationship between the police and the youth in the community, fostering a sense of responsibility and civic duty.

Interested participants can find more details on the city’s official website. This initiative not only prepares youth for potential careers in municipal police work but also enhances their understanding of law enforcement's role in society. By involving adolescents, the program seeks to create a more informed and engaged future generation.
