Since
1988 the Marietta Police Department Explorer Post 2
has been a program for young men and women
interested in learning about careers in law
enforcement. Explorers learn about career
opportunities and duties in a classroom environment
and through actual hands-on field experiences.
Meeting presentations include training on police
duties, forensic sciences, self-defense,
investigations, and firearms.
The Marietta Police Explorer Unit is a auxiliary unit of the Marietta Police Department assigned to the Community Outreach division along with the Marietta Police Department's Bike Patrol Unit. By being part of the Community Outreach Unit the unit strives to help the Marietta communities in safety related issues such as assisting in COPS areas, assisting the Marietta school system with security issues at special events, fingerprinting Marietta's children, and assisting with community improvement efforts.
The Marietta Police Explorers meet every Thursday night at 6:00pm until 9:00pm for uniform inspection, training, discussions, and planning of many different projects and events Explorers participate in all year long. Members of the Explorer Post direct traffic at parades and other special events, help search for missing children, assist on routine patrol, help
with duties in the police department, assist in the Marietta Municipal Court, conduct tours of the police department, and most importantly assist with community outreach efforts in Marietta's communities.
The Exploring program is an official program of the Marietta Police Department, designed by the Boy Scouts of America to show young men and women what a career in law enforcement is about. By seeing what the career is like at an early age, they can decide if that is what they want to pursue when they graduate high school and start college. We expose the Explorers to different law enforcement careers in order to
give them a wider selection to choose from. Past members have gone on to be officers, reserve officers, and federal law enforcement officers.
Interested teenagers can join the Marietta Police Explorers by being between the ages of 14 and 21, being in high school or college with at least a "C" average, being in good standing with all Marietta Police Officers and civilian employees, and must be free of any criminal record.
