Explorer Post 565, affiliated with the Office of the Macomb County Sheriff,
has been in existence for several years. The post started with one advisor and a
few high school students who expressed an interest in becoming police officers.
Over the years, the post has continuously grown. The post members today include
students from all over Macomb County.
Each year brings new ideas and more community participation. The Post provides
these young adults with the opportunity to view a career in Law Enforcement.
Although not all Explorers pursue this career, it provides them with a better
understanding of the Laws that govern our society.

The program provides the Explorers with "hands on" experience with the
following:
- Regularly scheduled meetings with Deputies (and other officers) who
address the group on the various facets of a career in Law Enforcement.
(Presentations include specialized fields such as: Evidence Technicians,
Canine Unit, Narcotics, Investigations, etc.)
- Ride-Along program gives the Explorer first-hand knowledge of a patrol
officer's duties by letting the Explorer ride in a patrol vehicle with a
deputy during an eight-hour shift.
- Explorers often volunteer for civic and community projects such as traffic
control, child fingerprinting, and Halloween candy checks.
- Occasionally, the Post takes a trip to a different city to visit and
compare local Police or Sheriff Departments. Past visits include Toronto,
Chicago, and Washington DC.
