Explorer Program


Officers Chris Echele and Sarah Barbosa, center back,
pose with some members of Explorer Post 107 and trophies they won in state Explorer competition in Tampa in June 2001. Echele and Barbosa are two of the advisors to
the department's Explorer Post.

The Pensacola Police Department's Explorer Program is designed for high school aged males and females who have an interest in law enforcement and may be interested in pursuing a career in this field.  

 

Approximately 20 males and females currently belong to the Pensacola Police Explorer Post # 107.

 

Explorers meet weekly to study various laws and participate in hands-on experiences such as traffic stops, traffic accident investigations and pistol shooting.

 

Explorers must maintain a 2.0 or higher grade point average, be in good character standing in the community and must never have been arrested for a felony or a misdemeanor domestic violence.

 

Advisors are Officers Sarah Barbosa, Chris Echele and Hank Wells.

 

For more information on the Explorers, please contact Sgt. Mike Simmons at 850.435.1905 or by email at Msimmons@ci.pensacola.fl.us.
