The Miami-Dade County School Board at its meeting of Feb. 10 approved a board item calling for the expansion of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools Police Explorer program.
The Police Explorer Program is a volunteer program sponsored by the Miami-Dade Schools Police Department (MDSPD). It is designed to provide high-school students, ages 14-18, with the opportunity to learn about a career in law enforcement. Police Explorers gain insight into police work through first-hand experience, assisting police professionals in a variety of departmental and community activities.
“This is something very important to me, as these are the kinds of programs that lead children into public service,” said school board member Dr. Lubby Navarro. “It would not surprise me to see these young men and women grow up and become law enforcement officers, policing their community. That would bring me the greatest joy.”
