About the Nassau County Explorers Program:

The Nassau County Law Enforcement Exploring Program is based on five areas of emphasis:

career opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character education and leadership experience. An important goal of law enforcement exploring is to help young adults be responsible and caring people, both now and in the future using “character education activities” which helps young adults develop the ability to make responsible choices. It aids teens in becoming more independent, developing social relationships, re-evaluating values while also undergoing positive physical and psychological changes.  For more information, visit www.nclee.org.
