Are you a young adult living in Taylor Mill and interested in a career in Law enforcement? If so, becoming a Taylor Mill Police Explorer may be the right fit for you.

The Taylor Mill Police Department offers a Law Enforcement Exploring program for young adults interested in exploring a career in law enforcement. If you are between the ages of 14 and 20 and have completed the ninth grade, you may apply to become a member of the Taylor Mill Police Explorers.

This comprehensive, hands-on program provides training for Explorers ranging from routine traffic stops to crime scene search/investigation, bomb threat response and arrest and search techniques. Explorers may participate in the department’s ride-a-long program once they are 16, have completed a six-month probationary and have passed all required tests.

Explorers may also aid in investigations, crime scenes, and traffic/crowd control in certain situations, provided all necessary training has been completed. Explorers also compete in local, regional, state and national competitions.

The Taylor Mill Police Explorer Post meets twice a month. For more information or to set up an appointment to discuss participation, contact the police department during normal business hours Mon.- Fri., 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 859. 581-1192.
