PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

Explorer Post 2773 is sponsored by the  Pottstown Area Police Athletic League in cooperation with the Administration and Officers of the Pottstown Borough Police Department.  Keeping in mind that there are no employment requirements for a member or other similar stipulations after leaving the post, there are several purposes to our program:

  • To provide members with the opportunity to gain a meaningful insight into a career in law enforcement.
  • To stimulate interest in the member allowing them to consider further training and education for a law enforcement career.
  • To develop character and good citizenship.
  • To instill a genuine wish to demonstrate desirable habits, attitudes, and practices as contributing members of society. 

Being associated with a very experienced and diverse police department, we allow members to explore many phases of law enforcement. If a member were to pursue a career in law enforcement, this will allow them to choose the division of work they would best excel and be happiest in.

TRAINING AND ACTIVITIES

All Police Explorers, after being accepted into the program, go through an intensive training program and classes at bi-weekly meetings. Explorers also take field trips to local points of interest and witness demonstrations by other officers on meeting days. After passing tests of knowledge and maturity, Explorers continue their training with "hands-on" assignments in different divisions of the Pottstown Police Department.  Explorers assist police personnel in crowd and traffic control, parades, bicycle rodeos, walk-a-thons, and other community events. As the post is also a member of the Boy Scouts of America, they also participate in large Boy Scout events and functions.
