Welcome to the webiste for the Colorado Springs Police Department's Cadet Explorer Program.  The Colorado Springs Police Explorer Program is designed for young men and women between the ages of 14 and a half and 20 years of age.  This program allows young teens who live in or near the city of Colorado Springs to become informed and involved in law enforcement, while actively becoming a part of their community. The program allows teens to further their knowledge and understanding of the criminal justice system through training, and to provide an insight into all phases of police work as a possible future profession and career. It will also help foster a better understanding between the Police Department and the youth of our City.

Please look through our website to learn more about our program.  If you are interested in joining the program in 2012 please fill out an application that can be found in the "How to Become an Explorer" section.  If you have any questions please call 444-7410.                  

We are currently accepting applications for the summer 2012 academy.
