Explorer Academy ETC I-23 - California Highway Patrol

Explorer Academy ETC I-23
Check out Highlights from Explorer Academy ETC I-23. A week-long academy where Explorers experience a small sample of what CHP Cadets must endure on their journey to become Officers of the California Highway Patrol. This academy marks a special year since it was the first Explorer Academy since 2019.
The CHP Explorer Program is designed for youth 15 to 20 years of age, allowing them to develop the skills and knowledge needed to serve the people of California through discipline and a commitment to serving their community.

Being a CHP officer is my biggest dream ever

I was a police explorer when I was in my teens for the Coral Springs Police Dept. I did it for like 3 years. It was fun...exposes you to law enforcement and prepares you. You learn signal codes...police procedures...get to direct traffic....work with cops...ride alongs..learn report writing...learn how to use firearms. Community service and crime prevention etc.

It’s great to see young men and women dedicated in service and to be part of something greater than themselves. Stay disciplined, dedicated, and determined and you shall have a bright future.

Lots of kids. Looks like their first job
