The Explorer Academy is the highlight event of the year on the WCSO Explorer calendar. Because many of our Explorers have ambitions to pursue a career in law enforcement, attending the academy is a career building event. It puts Explorers through a boot camp experience, focused on law enforcement, giving them a chance to use many of the skills they have learned during the past year.
The Explorer Academy is an annual week long, live-in training experience for Explorers at the Riverside County Sheriff Department’s Ben Clark Public Safety Training Center. During the academy, Washington County Explorers train and compete with Explorer posts from across California.
